Cut, Copy, and Paste (Windows)

This sample shows you how to add cut, copy and paste functionality to text fields in "windowless" swfs in Windows applications. It solves a problem that doesn’t exist on the Mac.

Flash currently doesn’t. natively support the standard cut, copy and paste keyboard shortcuts. This is a Flash bug. If you publish your fla to html using wmode = "transparent windowless", you will see the same behavior. You can fix this bug by creating a key listener and using mProjector’s mSystem.getClipboard() and mSystem.setClipboard() commands.

You can find this sample online on the mProjector Samples page -- /software/flash-projector/flas.html#cutCopyAndPaste.
