copying an image

[larry at significantplanet.org]

Hello Jacqueline,

Thanks for trying to help, but I am still lost.  I used your:
  put the clipboarddata["image"]
in a variety of ways, but could not make it work.  The dictionary says "set the clipboardData..."  not put.


Then I used this code in a button:

on mouseUp

set the clipboardData["image"] to image myLastImage

put the clipboard

end mouseUp



The message box pops up saying "image"

BUT, I still having nothing on my Windows (XP) clipboard!!



I can copy from just about any other application on my computer, but not from LiveCode.

sadly, Larry
