Copying Clipboard on iOs

Question

It used to be that you could not copy the clipboard in an AIR app on an iOs device.Is this still the case?

Did a quick search, maybe this?http://circlecube.com/2008/11/copy-textfield-text-to-system-clipboard-actionscript-as2-as3-tutorial/Hi,You can use the below mentioned Clipboard API method to set the same data to clipboard as of textfield:Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, TextField.text);Thanks,Pranali

Just opened one of my apps where I have a simple textbox that a user can edit and it had preset text in it, clicked it, the iOS keyboard came up, held down over the text and the native options came up, hit copy, closed app and opened safari, hit the search box and held until native options came up, hit paste and voila text from the app, so I would say it is not true and you CAN copy to clipboard from simple textboxes in an AIR app.

Hope that helps.
