This might be better off over in the Animate (formerly Flash) forum. I'll move it for you...

If you already have an HTML interface, what's the point of the Flash interface?

HTML is for mobile users and has not all the functions and Flash is for Desktop users

Well that's not ideal.

Anyway, you could listen for the paste event on your textfield and erase it when that's dispatched. However, that would be terrible UX because it would disable legitimate use of paste like words being moved around within a post, or pasting a URL. A slightly less dreadful solution would be to listen for the change event instead, and only interfere when the difference between the pre-change and post-change text is beyond a certain length threshold, large enough that it wouldn't interfere with most legitimate usage.

Or best of all, you could blacklist the strings they're pasting, or the IP ranges they're posting from.
