ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Use System.setClipboard
Apr 1, 2007
I'm trying to use System.setClipboard.This copies text to the clipboard.My problem is that it doesn't copy the newline character.I've tried using and but it still doesn't work.
I've also tried having 2 newline characters to seperate the text... but the same results happens.There is no paste function in Flash apparently for security reasons...So to test... you have to use something like Notepad or any other text editor.
Just to be clear, in order for System.setClipboard() to work, it has to be executed within a function that receives either a Keyboard or Mouse Event. Now, in my specific case, I need to hack this so that when I press 'enter', I get my string that I want to paste into the clipboard from the internet, and when Flash gets it, THEN it pastes it in.Here's an example on how I thought I could do that (unfortunately I didn't work).
Code: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyboardHandler); function keyboardHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
Any thoughts on a good way to accomplish something along the lines of
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com"); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void { System.setClipboard(loader.data); });
It seems as if System.setClipboard() isn't available inside an event handler (which makes at least some sense given what I know about Flash security).get it to work? or block on the URL load so that I can then call setClipboard() in the main event flow?
I unserstand security restrictions about working with clipboard. The user must do an action then clipboard may be written.
But what if on mouseclick i have to load some text from server using URLRequest and copy obtained data to clipboard?
Like this:
protected function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void { this.fileReference = new FileReference(); this.fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, this.fileSelectHandler);
Everything in this code works except tmpTxt2 += " "; for some reason. I've tried as well. I've tried looking for solutions online, but am getting a lot of XML and html solutions that I don't think will work for this.
I got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.
Is it possible to make this a mask? The system contains one movieclip of a circle called ball, also a class called ball and a class called particle. I want the particle system movieclips to display an image...I'm sure this is possible...just have not been able to find a way. A little backround, I'm a completely selftaught n00b when it comes to AS3, but I'm grasping it fairly well... the tutorial is on this website, called A Simple Particle System Using Actionscript 3.
I build a web site in flex that some time take input. Will this website works on Touch Screen environment(KIOSK).My question is we have to make any change to handle input such as prompt on screen keyboard when input fields are get focused or it will manage my device and OS of system(KIOSK, Touch screen system) itself.
When I use IK system to build a man and move it to perform poping, I found the more poses I gave to it the more its arms and legs would drift away. I didn't use alt and mouse to move the limbs. I only use my mouse to pose it. But WHY after I finished some poses, the limbs of the figure would get loosened?What was worse, If i adjusted those limbs(by alt and left click-drag) to fix the drift, the poses I have finished would be messed. So, what should I do?
I'm making a sort of interactive graphic novel and was wondering how would I implement some sort of inventory system. Btw, I'm using Actionscript 2.0
----INVENTORY SYSTEM 001----
You see, I would like the ending screen to show a summary of what the player has done in the game.And certain points in the game would add certain 'items' into the inventory which will in turn affect what is displayed in the summary screen.The 'items' here being words or phrases.eg:
Quote: You _______ with the _______ and proceeded to _______. But you _______.
For example, if the player chooses Path A, summary screen will show: eg:
Quote: You stabbed the unicorn with the shark fin and proceeded to shag your mistress. But you ate a pecan pie.But if the player chooses Path B, the summary screen will instead show eg:
Quote: You stabbed the tree with the shark fin and proceeded to shag the corned beef. But you smashed a watermelon and caused a civil war.
----INVENTORY SYSTEM 002----
I think with a few modifications, this inventory system could also be used to affect the outcome of the movie depending on what item the player currently owns? Please enlighten me if this system is feasible.
The player is given a choice to pick up a spoon or a fork in the beginning of the game.The player is later faced with a soup crisis. If the player has previously picked up a spoon, the soup can be consumed. Otherwise, the soup is left well alone.
is System.gc() recognized in AIR 3 for iOS ? Or am I putting on a line a code that's just for pasterity ? I have made every effort to dispose(),null and removeEventListener any unused Object, hence to be able to tell the Garbbage Collector to "go ahead" is a really awesome feature.
Is there a way to get a unique machine-specific system ID in a Flex application running in a browser, so that is can be used for example to determine if the machine is properly licensed to run the application?
I'm building image processing or mapping system kinda like google map except we have our own HD images so i'm not sure what is the best way to do this in .NET here is what im trying to do Mapping web application build in .NET i've High resolution images , the user first load the selected area a full scaled image should be loaded 100% (original image) then he Zoom to the area he want, then he can move around this area almost like google map
1.user select area - full scaled image loaded
2.user zoom to random area - (i will receive some values for X, Y, etc.. in query string then i will extract these values and zoom/return the image based on these values)
So i'm not sure what is the ideal solution for this is it just zoom/re-size image based on the vales received from the user, or its more complicated than that?
I'm making a dialogue based flash game.When a player clicks the right response I want them to gain/lose points.What is the best way to accomplish this?I'm in need of correct code/script because the way I'm doing things now doesn't work.
The buttons that allow for a gain/loss of points are inside of movie clips and are also on different layers, so I thought using a global variable would allow for editing it anywhere,but when I click the buttons that //should// make the player lose or win points, the value does not change, either that or I get a "NaN" in my dynamic text box.
i'm building a website, with non-system fonts.. Do i have to do something for other computers to see the same font? or thats just the case if i use imput text?
We have several people that touch Flash files at my company.oes anyone know a good way to make sure we're not opening the same file at the same time?Sort of like how Word will prompt you with a choice of opening as read only or how Dreamweaver lets you check files in and out.Is there anything like that for Flash?
This information must be on the Adobe site, but I've not had any luck tracking down the information... When creating a Mac and Windows projector in CS4, what are the minimum system requirements to open the created files on a Mac or in Windows?
I need to create a function which checks for the existance of a word within an answer... and if the answer contains the'keyword' then it is deemed as correct..For example, if my keyword is 'dalton' I would like to accept any answer which contains 'dalton', for example :the four daltons, Daltons Weekly, the dalton, whatever else dalton might say..
I'm starting to localize my flash application. I'm trying to see if there is a way to rollback on default operating system fonts for languages like japonese so I don't have to embed them. So far I didn't find anything online. I'm currently using css to define the font family like:
I am trying to call my WCF service through a Flex application. I'm getting the System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException. I have Integrated Windows Auth switched to on, anonymous access off, and I've set impersonate to false in my web.config. The project and virtual dir are named the same too.
before somebody screaming RTFM, let me clarify. does system.totalMemory test the memory used in movie which invokes it, or used by all movies running on the browser/system?
I want to initiate garbage collaction for my app when it reaches a certain limit and i dont want the process to be initialized by the user watching funny cats youtube video.
I am loading data from one sample.xml file using http service. the xml file will generated by jsp and it is saving in one proper location like(d:/programfiles/some.xml).now when I first time login to application i need to check whether that xml file is present or not. How can I check?
I can display the icon of a file that has been associated with that file in the native OS.
I have a tile list of a folder's contents. For images, I display the image, for everything else I display a generic image. However, it would be great if I could tap into the OS and just use the icon that the OS uses. For example, if I have installed Microsoft Word on my computer, then when I view a word document in the file system it will display the word icon that Microsoft created for word documents. For MP3's it might be an iTunes type sound icon, if I have iTunes installed and so on.
Basically, for all the files in my tile list I want to just show the same icon that Windows, or Mac OS would etc.
In addition to this, if the OS creates a thumbnail for the file (images, videos and PDFs for example) is it possible to tap into this OS generated thumb?
I am a new user of adobe flash. I have a question: After I published my flash file to .exe and .swf, how to I check the system requirement for this project when they need to open it? I need to write on the cd face....
I have an activate and deactivate event handlers for the main Application that trigger when the user clicks inside or outside the browser or flex application browser window. Due to some subtle changes I made to my app (I suspect unforeseen by Adobe) activate and deactivate events are no longer triggered. Is there a hasFocus type function I can call instead in enterFrame for example
