Copying text into Flash?

Is there some sort of secret to how one can select (i.e. highlight) text in Illustrator, copy it, create a text box in Flash using the Text Tool and then paste it?

When I do this it i’m getting a dialog box asking me about my importing preferences… all i want to do is paste it in without it’s AI formatting.

Obviously I can workaround by pasting the AI text into MS Word, copying again and then pasting into Flash but it’s not exactly efficient. Anyone shed any light on this?
