Is there a way to make a button in flash that will paste the contents of the clipboard into a text field?I need to be able to click a button and have that sentence appear in a text field in my flash movie.
View 1 RepliesI'm hoping someone has done some research into the possibility of being able to paste an OS clipboard image (say from a screen grab) into an SWF file (one that would be running on a web page)?
View 3 RepliesI have control bar buttons Copy, Cut, and Paste and they suppose to copy/paste some text/objects from and to clipboard.Copy/Cut works fine.Paste using CTRL+V and context menu works fine as well.But when I'm trying to access Clipboard via control bar button click handler it throws error
SecurityError: Error #2179: The Clipboard.generalClipboard object may only be read while processing a flash.events.Event.PASTE event.

I know that you can use the context menu using a right-mouse-click in a control to choose to cut, copy, paste, etc. I've also noticed that you can use the windows keyboard shortcuts CTRL-C for Copy and CTRL-V for Paste.
Windows supports native CTRL-Insert (for copy) and SHIFT-Insert (for paste).
However, within Flex, it seems these do not appear to work. Has anyone been able to either allow these keyboard events?
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."
View 3 RepliesI need to select the text copy and paste the text in to clipboard.. i am able to select the text and on right click i have provided the menu for copying the text... after selecting the text, i am clicking the copy text option in the menu.. but it is not pasting the text..
I am using the syntax:
System.setClipboard(text).
I used code that kglad suggested to add a button that copies the embed code for a SWF to the user's clipboard:
clip_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clipcopy);
function clipcopy(e:Event):void{
Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, s);

I have hundreds of images that need to play a unique sound when clicked. In order to simplify the building of this flash file I need to streamline it in a way that will allow me to change only one word. Below is some example code.

var word:String = "family"

How I can detect a click on the border of a canvas, not its contents?.I am aware that I can validate ranges event.mouseX (Y),but my canvas has rounded corners and in some cases appears to be a circle,is there any way of knowing if the border of the canvas is under the pointer?I have:
Canvas.setStyle ("borderColor", 0xFF0000);
Canvas.setStyle ("borderStyle", "solid");
Canvas.setStyle ("BorderThickness", 10);
I'm making some elearning courses and we are trying to combine semi-automation with the ability to place artwork and content on the timeline. Basically we have a series of small tasks -- read this, click this button, see the result, and so on. We have a "highlight" area component that indicates the area a user is to click. Currently that component dispatches and event from the instance when it is clicked and the main timeline is listening for the event and then moves them ahead to the next task when they have clicked properly.
So the following code:
myClickAreaInstance.addEventListener("clicked",handleClick)
And the handleClick function and removing the listener all has to be handled on the timeline. And for a given task there might be an intro animation and the click area component might not come in until the end. So where to put that code and how to automate it becomes tricky. So I first dug up AsBroadcaster and could use it sort of like Mouse or Key classes.
AsBroadcaster.initialize(ClickArea)
ClickArea.addListener(this);
function clicked(obj){
//handle click broadcast
[Code] .....
Would it be better to us AsBroadcaster or EventDispatcher?
I will be making flash projector. How do I make windows pop up on flash projector when you click on buttons while exploring the contents inside?
View 7 RepliesI have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
Is there a way to use a button to emulate the print screen button on the keyboard?I'm trying to "capture" what is showing in the projector...I've found keypress stuff, understand how to do that, just can't find anything on print screen.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

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!

View 3 RepliesI 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.

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.
