Hi, Sorry for starting a new thread on this but it seems important.
Rich Internet Application development review 1) Get information for the punters 2) Do something sexy with it in Flash It's not all pushing buttons and typing. There's the clipboard... If your not building something to get data from the users clipboard now your next project might, and the bad news appears to be that Firefox is not coming to the party. I've noticed that Ctrl-v, pasting from the clipboard to flash, doesn't work in all versions of Firefox. In fact nothing related to the clipboard does. A similar thread from 2001: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2001-November/016166.html ...didn't post an answer. Please visit this URL: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php Then try to paste something in on Firefox and and register how it went. The test results are available at: http://dozo.jp/paste_test.php?result=true I've managed to figure out that pressing Ctrl and V _really_ fast sometimes works. In that case I get the following output: UP -> Code: 17 Key: UP -> Code: 86 Key: v DOWN -> Code: 86 Key: v DOWN -> Code: 17 Key: As opposed to: UP -> Code: 86 Key: v UP -> Code: 17 Key: DOWN -> Code: 86 Key: v DOWN -> Code: 17 Key: Which is the key sequence flash reads when the operation fails. IE reads the keys in this order: DOWN -> Code: 17 Key: UP -> Code: 86 Key: v UP -> Code: 17 Key: Hacking something to get the info from Javascript doesn't seem like a practical option, Firefox won't read the clipboard by default: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html Any input appreciated. Thanks for reading this far!
