[haXe] Flash System.setClipboard problem

[Michael Pliskin]

Hello Asger,

Hm, but this is neko/systools which is a proxy for OS clipboard. But
what about native flash methods...

AOA> Hm, the attached sample works for me in neko. Output is:

AOA> Test.hx:5: Current text on clipboard:           trace("Cleared clipboard");
AOA> Test.hx:8: Set to empty string
AOA> Test.hx:11: Current text on clipboard: 
AOA> Test.hx:14: Cleared clipboard
AOA> Test.hx:17: Current text on clipboard: null
AOA> Test.hx:19: Setting clipboard text to: Hello World
AOA> Test.hx:23: Current text on clipboard: Hello World

AOA> Also, notice, to clear the clipboard, you can use  Clipboard.clear();

AOA> Regards,
AOA> Asger
