[Newbies] Re: Programmatically simulating drag and drop

[Jerome Peace]

Hi Sean,

You don't have to use the ACTIVE hand.
Any hand will do.

e.g. 

artificialHand = HandMorphForReplay new .

You will have to play and look at the classes. I haven't ever tried this.
So I don't know if this particular solution will work. It should be close.

Worse comes to worse you could base an ArtificialHand class on HandMorphForReplay and make something that worked to your requirements.

Happy hunting.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
