AutoIt script to position window by name (will position Flash Player window by default)
; AutoIt script to position window by name (will position Flash Player window by default).
; Useful while working on flash projects with FlashDevelop for example, to position the debug window in the same position every launch.
; PositionWindow.exe <title> <mode> <x> <y> <interval>
; title: string to search in window title. Default is "Adobe Flash Player"
; mode: possible values. Default is "loop"
; - loop: will reposition every <interval> milliseconds
; - wait: will poll every <interval>ms until window appears then positions it once
; - once: just positions the window on execution
; x/y: pixels value or center. Defaults are 0
; interval: polling value in milliseconds. Default is 500
;
; Example: PositionWindow.exe VLC loop center center 2000
