Copy and paste

Use the classes in the clipboard API to copy information to and from the system clipboard. The data formats that can be transferred into or out of an Adobe® AIR® application include:

  • Bitmaps

  • Files

  • Text

  • HTML-formatted text

  • Rich Text Format data

  • URL strings

  • Serialized objects

  • Object references (only valid within the originating application)

Adobe Flash Player 10 added copy-and-paste functionality that was introduced in AIR 1.0. This chapter discusses the copy-and-paste functionality unique to Adobe AIR. For details on this shared functionality, see Copy and paste (in the Programming Adobe ActionScript 3.0 book).
