AltBrowser question

I am using AltBrowser by Altuit (Chipp Walters, Chris Bohnert), a really
amazing Rev stack/tools. [ http://www.altuit.com ]

Situation - browser image will show a java applet window for data entry that
relies solely on button clicks, except for password.  Unfortunately, this
applet is the only way to access the online database service I am subscribed
to.

Goal - compile a cross platform app for Win & OSX that will deliver mouse
clicks from keyboard actions by user, therefore achieving speed and accuracy
and reducing carpel tunnel.

Problem - Using Rev "click at x, y" does not deliver a click to the browser
image on the Rev card, as I had hoped.  This seems to be true from the
message box as well as a script, both platforms. [example: Google Search
button does not trigger]

Is there a way to get such a 'mouse click' to a specific x,y on the XBROWSER
object?  Win & OSX?

-1- one solution is to use Rev to call an applescript that triggers a
QuicKey macro (already made a couple of these), however this is rather
intricate and the clicks need to be more rapid (closer together)

Thanks for your help
