Oh, yeah, good point :P "For security reasons, there is no Security.getClipboard() method, since such a method could potentially allow malicious sites to access the data last copied to the user's Clipboard."
Well, that's no fun. How about having a Swing app create a fake SharedObject file that then gets read by the Flex app (and tricks it into thinking it's from the correct domain)? On 5/11/07, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Just thinking out loud, if your Swing app placed some data in the clipboard, like a description of what was being dragged, and then your Flex app had a rollOver event that checked if there's the appropriate data in the clipboard, if so show a visual indicator of what's being dragged in the flex app... I dunno, maybe you could "fake" drag and drop?
