ActionScript 2.0 :: Copy To Clipboard W/ Key Combo Via ExternalInterface ?
Feb 26, 2009
I have an in-house application that is populating several HTML rows with text that needs to be copied. I already have that text being sent to my flash movie as a variable via Javascript. I also have a button that when clicked will copy those formatted lines of text in the method required for pasting into a different, unrelated application. The button method for
Code:
System.setClipboard(myTextField)
works just fine.
However, per "instructions" I need to establish a keyboard shortcut that fires the same "setClipboard" action. Currently, I am using External Reference to apply a javascript key combo capture that attempts to call the function within the Flash movie to set the clipboard. However, placing that setClipboard inside of the function called via javascript doesn't work. The setClipboard action only seems to work when attached to the button.I know there are restrictions with the newer flash player requiring user interaction with the movie to access the clipboard, but is there any way to simulate the button click or package the setClipboard action in a function that will allow this to work? This is an in-house application so the actual security issues are not as prevalent.This is what I have in place currently. I know the javascript communication works, as I have been able to send commands such as:
Code:
_root.play();
inside of the function in the flash movie. It's just the "setClipboard" portion that doesn't take place.[code]........

I think the title tells it all, but just incase, I will clarify. Is it possible to copy part of the stage to the clipboard in order to paste that into an email or word document.
I need this as an option to the user, not during publishing... So basically, a button on stage that copies a specific area/coordinates.

My aim is to copy multiple row content from Flex datagrid, to a clipboard enabling users to take pieces of information and pasting them were they are necessary. I bumped into a problem that in Flex (as far as I know) its not possible to paste whole array of information in the clipboard. At the moment, I pass selected datagrid items to a textfield, and then run "System.setClipboard(text_area.text);" I was wonderng if there is a way to pass it to multiple Clipboard directories, without overwriting previous entry, similar as when you can copy multiple items from different location into a clipboard, pile them up and then paste all at once?

I'm working in Flash Builder and Catalyst CS5 building a project that will aid technicians in finding policies and tools easily. One area that I want to focus on is the note taking section. I want the user to beable to input text and then have a "Copy Notes to Clipboard" button that will gather all the data from those input fields and store them in theclipboard. This way all the agent has to do is paste into the note section on their service ticket.The following is an example of the fields that it would require.Name:Phone Number:Issue:Symptoms:Troubleshooting Notes: also want the label for the text field to be included within the notes. So when someone pastes the notes it won't be just the contents, but will include the name of the text area as well. "Phone Number: 555-123-4567" instead of just "555-123-4567."

It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......

I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.

A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.

I want to set the clipboard to be a specific string. I've read about Flash's hack and the ability to hijack the clipboard + Adobe fixing this. I just wanted to know if I would have any problems if an end user has a Flash 10 player? What I could do with my solution is to simply pass in a variable via Flashvars + when a button I have on stage is clicked, will copy the Flashvars value to the clipboard:
System.setClipboard(myFlashVarVariable);
I just thought I'd ask anyway - the last thing I would want is something that worked perfectly in my environment that didn't work for all end users!

I have an unstructured multiline string to parse in Flash (not csv, not xml, just plain text) I want to be able to separate my multiline plain text into lines of text as a starting point. I realize that my regex has no issue if I hand-type my data into the textarea, but issues arise when I paste from external sources.
I wonder, is there any setting on Textarea that I forgot to set so that the newline character is trimed upon my paste?
[Code]...
It turns out that parsing it may not be the problem, but the fact that my data may have been malformed when I paste from clipboard might be the real root cause. Does anyone have any suggestion in how to solve this problem? Should I perhaps make a paste handler to ensure data's integrity?

I have an unstructured multiline string to parse in Flash (not csv, not xml, just plain text)I want to be able to separate my multiline plain text into lines of text as a starting point. But no matter how I tweak my regex and replace algorithm, it won't work for me.
I realize that there is an issue with pasting from Clipboard to Textarea. The newline characters from original content would be lost once they reach Textarea.
It looks like following in text editor, plaint text mode:
var1 hi
var2 hi2
var3 h3
But when I copy it out of Flash after pasting them into it, the data becomes like following
var1 hivar2 hi2var3 h3
This is also the output if I use trace to look at the data in Textarea after pasting. It turns out that parsing algorithm may not be the problem, but the fact that my data may have been malformed when I paste from clipboard might be the real root cause. Does anyone have any suggestion in how to solve this problem? Should I perhaps make a paste handler to ensure data's integrity?
