Camera, microphone, Clipboard, mouse, and keyboard access 485
The System.setClipboard() method allows a SWF file to replace the contents of the
Clipboard with a plain-text string of characters. This poses no security risk. To protect against
the risk posed by passwords and other sensitive data being cut or copied to Clipboards, there
is no corresponding “getClipboard” (read) method.
A Flash application can monitor only keyboard and mouse events that occur within its focus.
A Flash application cannot detect keyboard or mouse events in another application.
