Clippy - Helping you copy text to your clipboard

================================================

Clippy is a very simple Flash widget that makes it possible to place arbitrary

text onto the client's clipboard. Here is what Clippy looks like on GitHub:

![Clippy in action](http://img.skitch.com/20090213-cjiawnwig8udf5a6qf1c45cne8.png)

Here is a sample Rails (Ruby) helper that can be used to place Clippy on a

page:

    def clippy(text, bgcolor='#FFFFFF')

      html = <<-EOF

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

        

      EOF

    end

Installation (Pre-Built SWF)

---------------------------

If you want to use Clippy unmodified, just copy `build/clippy.swf` to your

`public` directory or wherever your static assets can be found.

Installation (Compiling)

------------------------

In order to compile Clippy from source, you need to install the following:

* [haXe](http://haxe.org/)

* [swfmill](http://swfmill.org/)

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.
