I am using a graphics editor that uses Flash.

I cannot copy to the Windows clipboard or paste from it.

Can anyone help ?

Flash player installed (10,3,183,10)

OS is Vista, 32 bit.

Thanks

    Hi,

    SwDir.dll is present, and up to date (11.6.3.633).

    OK, you don't have to worry about either installation then.

    As to not being able to copy/paste, the reason could be due to the way the Flash application has been designed. You could maybe consider using an alternative like this one: http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/aviarys-html5-image-editor/

    I do not understand "cannot" - what happens when you try?

    Does it also happen if you use the standard keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V?

    The image does not appear on the Windows Vista clipboard.

    All you can do in this situation is to take a screenshot by hitting the PrtScrn key. Then open the image in Paint or whatever app you use and edit it from there.

    By the way, the version of Flash you have installed at the moment is a security risk and exposes your system to attack. Download the latest version which is 11.1.102.55 from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    Also, you might have missed the update to Adobe Shockwave as well: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

    Than you for the advice and for the tips.

     

    I can take a screenshot which solves the problem of copying.

     

    But what can I do If I, say, have an image on the clipboard and want to past it into the graphics utility?

     

    Best wishes.

    What is the difference between Flash Player and Shockwave?

    Thanks
