Disable copy & paste

[thickbrain]

Can pasting text into a Flash text field can be disabled from SWFKit?

Disabling the clipboard altogether would work too.

You have to develop a hook dll to remove the "ctrl+V" key pressing messages.

I am not a DLL developer and I don't have any VB or C development software.

Does anyone have such a DLL to share with people like me?

Why can't you just change the textfield within Flash itself? If it is an input textfield, change it to a dynamic textfield that cannot be edited.

If you need something to change from an input textfield to a dynamic textfield you could have a movie clip that is triggered, changing the textfield from one to the other. If vital to your project, you could get SWFKit to trigger the change.

I use an input field simply because input from the user is required.

I'm just trying to minimize bad input from smart ass users.

[SWFKit]

Please try the attached dll. To define the functions exported by the dll in swfkit pro, please copy the following code into the "initialize" script

Dll.registerFunction(getAdditionalFile("DisablePaste.dll"),
"DisablePaste",
"disablePaste", "stdcall", "void", "long");

Dll.registerFunction(getAdditionalFile("DisablePaste.dll"),
"DisableCopy",
"disableCopy", "stdcall", "void", "long");

Dll.registerFunction(getAdditionalFile("DisablePaste.dll"),
"DisableCut",
"disableCut", "stdcall", "void", "long");

disablePaste(true);
disableCut(true);
disableCopy(true);

These functions will disable the cut, copy or paste operations in all text fields. If these functions take a parameter "false", the operations will be enabled.

I'll give it a go today.
