    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm at my wit's end!

    I'm trying to write an applescript for use in voiceover that will click the mouse every 2 minutes. I have the mouse-clicking part, but I just can't figure out how to make it do it again every 2 minutes. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing... but I don't know what.

    Thanks in advance!

    Use the delay command?

    delay timeInterval

    where timeInterval is in seconds and can include a fractional part.

    Code:
    repeat
	delay 120 -- 2 minutes
	-- click the button
end repeat
