Question

I’m new to flash so my question may be stupid.

I unserstand security restrictions about working with clipboard. The user must do an action then clipboard may be written.

But what if on mouseclick i have to load some text from server using URLRequest and copy obtained data to clipboard?

Like this:

    protected function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void
    {
       this.fileReference = new FileReference();
       this.fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, this.fileSelectHandler);       
       this.fileReference.browse();
    }       

    protected function fileSelectHandler(e:Event):void
    {
       var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(this.url);
       this.urlLoader = new URLLoader();
       urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, this.completeHandler);
       urlLoader.load(request);
    }

    protected function generateLinkCompleteHandler(e:Event):void
    {
       System.setClipboard(this.urlloader.data);            

}

Maybe somehow it is possible to “pass” the “safe context” to further events?
or it’s another way to do this?

thanks!
