VideoFX and new Input Broadcasting policy

Does anyone know if just using VideoFX to send mouse clicks will be effected by policy change? It says keystroke broadcasting, but I wonder if VideoFX is still okay to use? With VideoFX I click once on screen and it only casts one spell. I'm mainly using it to heal for my guild as I tank. Its a one to one action, no multiple spells. Surely this is still acceptable?

Unfortunately the answer to all of these questions right now is 'no one knows'. They haven't provided any details and as far as I know no one has been able to identify a detection method and until we know more there's simply no way to know what will or will not trigger action against you.

No more 5x fishing, even though I'm not spamming any copied keystrokes just have several windows opened with FX

It's a bit of a fuzzy one this.

If I was being really pessimistic, I'd say no, because the window receiving the input is not the active window (or is it, seeing as you are looking at a videofx view).
Being the ever optimist, the assessment of when I do this it only goes to 1 window, she'll be right mate.

Re: VideoFX and new Input Broadcasting policy

i seen a video on a blizz forum about something simiallar:
5 windows open and set at different sizes..like a 5 man windows layout in isboxer
using different addons to control follow me, heals and mouseover, i think it was FME, clique, and mouseover set in accessablity in windows
then it was a basic click thru windows and us of macros and addons
it seem to work very nicely
here the link to the vid:
