===== Explanation =====

This explains the functional steps within the sequence. For all the other XML details please refer to [[:macros:formats_and_syntax#xml_format|Formats and syntax]]

  * ''Handles.SetSourceHandleFromHandle'' sets the item which is going to be moved as source
  * ''ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum("Handles.OperationMode", "move")'' defines tis operation to be a move (can be "copy" as well)
  * ''Handles.CopyDestination'' does the copy/move job
  * ''Handles.ClearSelection'' clears the selection (the source handle)

Another way to set the source handle is using [[:macros:function:Handles.SetSourceHandle]]:

'' <step pause="0.01">Handles.SetSourceHandle("PlaybackWindow", 62)</step> ''

===== How to use it =====

This is not that much useful as stand-alone macro, however it might be a building block for a bigger macro.
