Placing Text into the iOS's Clipboard

I'd like to be able to copy some text to the iPad clipboard in my app, exit the app, and then paste the copied text into the Native iPad "Notes" application. I can't seem to get my copied text into the iPad's system clipboard though. It doesn't seem to carry over after I exit my app (or maybe it is neveer getting there in the first place, can't tell).
I've tried this:
System.setClipboard(myData);
And this:
Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, myData);
Any suggestions?

I don't have any specific experience with doing this in PFI, but in the Flash Player plugin, don't these calls have to take place in the event handler of a user event like click or key press?  Did you try calling it from an event handler?

  • I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field(prefix only) while saving files.

    OS: WinXP sp3
    FF: 3.6.3
    I have difficulty pasting text into the file name field (prefix only) while saving files. example: File name is Pic123.jpg and I want to rename it ABC123.jpg and I have ABC loaded into the WinXPsp3 clipboard. When I highlight\right-click\delete "Pic" then attempt to paste the ABC, I get either no reaction, or upon multiple paste attempts, the ABC is appended to the end of the file, after the extension, as "Pic123.jpgABC". If I delete this unwanted suffix, or repeat the process several times, eventually I can delete the unwanted portion of the prefix and paste the desired text. Sometimes it works fine first try, but mostly it takes several tries. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 but the problem existed in whatever previous version I had too. This issue only occurs when using the delete/paste; I can always manually change the name by typing. Thank you for your help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

    Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a big difference between being a casual user than real work or development. I own a iPod its a great MP3 player and a device I can display my pictures on out of my pocket. I'll even Facetime my kids at time to see my grand kids or help fix something.  My wife has a mini iPad for quick internet access and quire music and uses her iPod to entertain our two year old grandson with games.   She uses a Canon 1D mark 4 and I a Cannon 1D mark II.  The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images  they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display.  I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access.  When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access.  Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
    Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience.  (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
    The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
    @bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

    Hey jb42312436,
    Please let me know what type of file are you trying to print to PDF.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • TS3276 Hi.  Just started using Mac Mail on a macbookpro v10.6.8.  I tried to send a message with two excel (for mac) files attached.  One attached as a file, one inserted all the text into the message body.  Help?

    Just started using my Mac Mail program instead of web mail.  When I went to attach two pdf files, one attached as a file, the other inserted all the text into the body of the email message.  How do I get it to attach both pdf's as files?

    I think you're confusing two different things. If you attached PDF files and one of them displayed the PDF icon in the message window, that means it was more than one page. If you saw what appeared to be the actual document for the other PDF file, that means it's only one page and it's normal for it to display that way.
    However, I seem to recall there may (or should) be a button at the bottom-right of the message window that allows you to display those files as icons, even if they're one page. If not, there's a third-party addition you can use to add that feature:

  • How do I import text into the Keynote Titile

    I am trying to use the Keynote title in FCPX - I have "imported" the title over the picture image clip that I want to use, and that works fine, but I am having extreme difficulty in changing the text in the boxes that appear from ex TITILE to what text I want to appear. I click on the box and maybe the text appears in the Inspector and I can change it, then move to the next box - even with the Select tool in action, I clcik away at this next box and it will not select it, so cannot change the text from say INTRODUCTION to what I want.
    Can anyone help me out on this - otherweise I shall abandon this title and try a different one.
    Thanks

    *** I GOT IT!!!!! ***
    I was getting really frustrated being the only one who COULDN'T figure this out...  I GOT IT!!!
    1.  Drag the Title to your Editor
    2.  Place your playhead cursor over the middle-ish area of the title.
    3.  With the title selected, Double-Click anywhere on your preview, that will select your dropzone and give you a white-glove cursor.
    4.  Slide the dropzone to the opposite side of your text. (don't worry, just put it back later)
    5.  Click off of selected title in timeline (click in the background or another clip)
    6.  Re-select your title clip.
    7.  Now Double-Click the text you want to edit.
    8.  When you're finished just double-click on the dropzone area again to "white-glove" it back!

  • I can't seem to cut and paste text into the community message form?

    It seems I can't paste text data into this field.  Can you help?

    Win 7, explorer.  Cut and paste from any text source (Word, Notepad, Explorer) has the same result.  As an example, In this form window I cannot paste.  But, If I open a new discussion, toggle the HTML button, I can paste.  .  For some reason the reply form does not have the HTML button.  So, it might be a Java/browser thing - something is disabled.....
    I'll try Chrome and see if the same thing happens.
    I can cobble around it, but I've never seen this in any other HTML form before...
