As you can see that example is only for IE. I don't know of a way to do it that will work in both browsers. This is the only thing that I'm aware of: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/06/03/save-a-snapshot-image-of-a-flex-app-without-a-server/ At that point you will have to tell the user to copy the image that opens up.

The most reliable way that people copy anything to the clipboard in the browser is through Flash, and it is only text.

If this is a strong requirement, however, you could look into doing it in Java and creating a Java applet. @Nimesh, unfortunately the Flash platform only allows you to copy text to the clipboard, not images.

The Ctrl+V have some problems. Sometimes it works but most of the times it doesn't work. I want to override the Ctrl+V behavior and write a function on my own to copy the text from clipboard and paste it in the text input in flex. Anybody, please help me.
