I want to write a little app that allows the user to control the cursor using voice commands,to simulate mouse movement,click,double click,and click drag.I would like to write this in AppleScript as it would be easier to implement system-wide but I can't find a way to reference the cursor.If it is not possible to do in AppleScript I would like to know if anyone knows how to do this with the system API's I imagine it would be pretty complex,involving writing code for the Classic,Carbon,and Cocoa enviroments and some type of manager to handle switching from one enviroment to the other.Basically I want to enable system-wide support for voice activated cursor manipulation.Any info or advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, you should be able to use CoreGraphics to do this. Take a look at the CGDisplayMoveCursorToPoint() function in CGDirectDisplay.h and CGPostMouseEvent() in CGRemoteOperation.h

You could even wrap it up in a scripting addition if you wanted, that way you could use it from an Applescript.
