Clippy is a very simple Flash widget that makes it possible to place arbitrary text onto the client's clipboard. This version is pretty much the same as that of mojombo, but it doesn't include the text label next to the icon - instead if saying 'copied!' the icon will simply include a tick. Here is what Clippy (v2) looks like on Codebase:
Here is a sample Rails (Ruby) helper that can be used to place Clippy on a page:
def clippy(text, bgcolor='#FFFFFF')
html = <<-EOF
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
width="12"
height="12"
id="clippy" >
<param name="movie" value="/flash/clippy.swf"/>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param NAME="FlashVars" value="text=#{text}">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#{bgcolor}">
<embed src="/flash/clippy.swf"
width="12"
height="12"
name="clippy"
quality="high"
allowScriptAccess="always"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
FlashVars="text=#{text}"
bgcolor="#{bgcolor}"
/>
</object>
EOF
end
If you want to use Clippy unmodified, just copy build/clippy.swf to your
public directory or wherever your static assets can be found.
In order to compile Clippy from source, you need to install the following:
The haXe code is in clippy.hx, the button images are in assets, and the
compiler config is in compile.hxml. Make sure you look at all of these to
see where and what you'll need to modify. To compile everything into a final
SWF, run the following from Clippy's root directory:
swfmill simple library.xml library.swf && haxe compile.hxml
If that is successful, copy build/clippy.swf to your
public directory or wherever your static assets can be found.
