Using useRichTextClipboard:Boolean<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Boolean.html>From adobe help: useRichTextClipboard property (for TextField class) Specifies whether to copy and paste the text formatting along with the text. When set to true, Flash Player will also copy and paste formatting (such as alignment, bold, and italics) when you copy and paste between text fields. Both the origin and destination text fields for the copy and paste procedure must haveuseRichTextClipboard set to true. The default value is false.
