Hello all,

so we all know about mini laptops - some of them being slim tablet pcs. This provides a very nice compact interaction. I want to create a quick flash-made keyboard that you can touch with a stylus pen for when you don’ t have access to your keyboard. I know how to make the keyboard with actionscript, but I was wondering how to get the text from the flash output box to say…a google search. Is flash able to mimic the ctrl-c and ctrl-v of a keyboard outside of the flash application (ie how does it know to copy from flash and paste into google). I suppose there are programs out there that do this, I just thought it would be fun to try in flash.

Also, anyone who has a tablet pc care to share how they create lettters without a keyboard?
