Letting users paste text into flash text fields
Hi,
I'm building some functionality to get text from users and save it in a database. For a variety of reasons, we want to use Flash (faster, better way to allow rich text editing with bold, italicized, and underlined).
Example:
http://lsds.com/~grapes/premieragendas/
But we need users to be able to paste into the flash form fields.
In Mozilla/Firefox, this works. In Safari/IE on XP, it doesn't, and the Paste button on the Edit menu is grayed out, suggesting that the browser thinks a flash movie would never need to have something pasted into it, so it doesn't even allow that option.
Is there any way around this? Is there a setting to use in Flash? Is there some way to make the fields "pastable?"
Please help.
