Hi Ray,
This function doesn't involve moving the mouse cursor.
function screenlocColor
put the screenloc into myLoc
add 31 to item 1 of myLoc
add 31 to item 2 of myLoc
put (the screenLoc),myLoc into myRect
export snapshot from rectangle myRect to myPixels as PNG
set the text of the templateImage to myPixels
put char 1 to 4 of the imageData of the templateImage into myPixel
return charToNum(char 2 of myPixel), \
charToNum(char 3 of myPixel),charToNum(char 4 of myPixel)
reset the templateImage
end screenlocColor
