Hi,
just out of curiousity, if you open flash, press f1 for help and enter
clipboard, does it give any results on your end?

regards,
JC

Other folks already presented info on setting the clipboard contents. 
(I'm assuming that flash here means Adobe Flash Player, rather than 
the visual authoring environment.)


Why can we write but not read the clipboard? Mainly for security... it's 
conceivable that someone could have credit-card numbers or other 
sensitive info on their clipboard, and so clipboard contents cannot 
silently be sent back to advertisers' servers.


There's a conceivable risk of clipboard spamming, where someone could 
put their advertising message on your clipboard, but fortunately we 
haven't seen anyone desperate enough to pollute computers this way.


That's for in-browser use. In desktop use, through the beta Adobe 
Integrated Runtime, we're clearly working at a higher permission level 
(compared to just visiting the world's websites in a document browser), 
and so there's full clipboard support, drag'n'drop with desktop 
applications, and other standard application communication mechanisms.
