Copy Text to Clipboard

Hi,

Is there a way to copy text to the clipboard?

Like in a text box?

Yes. Any solution Would Be Helpful. Thanks.

Anyone? There's no way to do such a thing?

The Manual.

You can use the text expression, found at the bottom of this page.

Will that work?

Where did you see an expression/function which takes a text and store it into the clipboard? I failed to find such option.

You can copy text in a text box like normal...

I'm talking about in run-time, not in edit mode.

I wish to create text, in any text form or object and than the surfer/user presses a button named "copy" and the text will be copied to the clipboard allowing him/her to paste it into notepad, browser form, Word or any other text oriented target.

Hope this makes more sense.

Setting the clipboard seems to not be permitted from javascript. However with a google search I found some solutions using flash:

So you'd have to make a plugin to use it.

"Text

Return a string containing the object's current text."

That is what I was referring to. I know it's not the clipboard, per say, but it is a means of gaining access to the text and reusing it. Is that not adequate?

Thanks R0J0hound. It won't help to this project. Since I have no idea where to start and I'm short on time I'll probably have to give the user instructions on how to right-click + select all + Copy.

Thanks teahousemoon. I know how to access text properties.

Btw, I tried using the right-click/select-all/right-click/copy on the "Multiline" object but failed to get the text. Any idea why?
