Simulated Mouse Drags

Sun's Swing tutorial section titled "How to Use Scroll Panes" states this
about dragging and autoscrolls:

"Setting the autoscrolls property to true makes the component fire
synthetic mouse-dragged events even when the mouse isn't moving (because it
stopped, mid-drag, outside the component)."

I'd like to duplicate this behavior, but instead of the events being
triggered by mouse dragging, have them triggered by mouse moving. Any ideas
on how to do this? (Simply calling mouseDragged() from mouseMoved() does
not duplicate the behavior)

Thanks,

Mike

"An autoscrolling gesture is initiated by the user by keeping the drag
cursor motionless with a border region of the Component, referred to as the
"autoscrolling region", for a predefined period of time, this will result in
repeated scroll requests to the Component until the drag Cursor resumes its
motion."

"public boolean getAutoscrolls()
Returns true if this component automatically scrolls its contents when
dragged (when contained in a component that supports scrolling, like
JViewport)."
