Is there a way to simulate a left mouse click through code using AS3?
#include <stdio.h>
char*p="#include <stdio.h>%cchar*p=%c%s%c;%cmain() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}";
main() {printf(p,10,34,p,34,10);}

What do you mean by this? Do you mean a way to call events where you normally need to wait for a click, or to listen to an event, or to make it look like a mouse icon image is clicking when it isn't, or something completely different? More specific, please :D

In the world of software, EVERYTHING is possible :D We just need to figure out how.

Every eventual OUTCOME is possible, but it may be achieved through using roundabout methods.
In this case, rather than simulating a click, perhaps skip straight to simulating events triggered by the click.
It is very possible, just dispatch a MouseEvent object yourself.
Each time someone abuses hittest, God kills a kitten. Please, learn real collision testing.

Software is always limited to its hardware.

True, but we are talking in THEORY here.
Take for granted that your hardware can cope with whatever you throw at it, then everything becomes possible. To make it work in the real world, it's just a case of optimising.
You guys are getting way off topic here.
If you're talking about making a macro program in AS3 that can left click outside of a flash window, then no, you can't do that.
If you're talking about clicking inside your flash app, go read up on addEventListener and MouseEvent.Click.

I'm not, neither should you.
Read up the the line I quoted: this absolute statement is plain false.

Not everything is possible. There are many problems that computers cannot solve. Infinitely many I think (can't remember if this is the case or not).
In reality, the only limitation of any computer is its memory. Apart from that, you can do ANYTHING that a turing machine can do, assuming you have enough memory to do it. With hardware, you can have a program run faster by incorporating previously software based tasks into a faster hardware implementation. (but of course, clock speed does not matter when it comes to what a program can do)
Flash can do any computation that a turing machine can do within memory constraints, as AS3 is turing complete. However, flash code is being executed at a higher level (interpreted by flash player) and therefore you cannot do anything that flash player does not allow. The only exception of doing something that flash player normally won't do is by finding an exploit in flash player that allows high level flash byte code to utilize such an exploit to make flash player (lower level program) behave differently in some fashion which can be dangerous.

Hahaha oh wow, did this thread go to hell or what?
I don't even think the OP has come back with a definite answer as for what he wants to do yet ...
Either way, all the most likely answers have been given, so good luck OP.
... And yeah, everything is possible :P

thus you limit "Everything" to "computational".

Just quoting the right answer in the sea of offtopic.
Indescriptive topic names have left me in despair!
