Doug, I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you'll probably find some way around it. I saw someone write Java code that faked mouse events to the player which could let you paste from the clipboard into a TextField. -Alex

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)?

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?

Hi Flexcoders... surfacing from my lurkerdom here...been away from Flex-ing for the past couple of months...but now here's a question the tech lead asked me... Can you drag and drop between a Swing application (or Motif for that matter, we're talking legacy software) and a Flex one running in the browser?? thanks in advance for any wisdom on this...
