    Can someone provide a solution for this for me?

    I just need to be able to point my mouse to a pixel location on the screen, and then loop:

    10 clicks, backspace

    each click and the backspace should be spaced at about 1 full second apart.

    thanks guys

    I'm having trouble doing this with automator, because automator macros seem to care what is being clicked on.
