Paste email plus not compatible with flash.

[marco275]

Hi Chuck,

I noticed that on more and more sites the area were to put the login data is in flash, unfortunately in that case paste email plus does not show up in the context menu. Is it possible for you to implement this in a future release?

thnx for your great work

Thanks for pointing that out. I've put it on the PEP todo list.

you're welcome.

Hello Chuck..
Hope you have had the time to look in to this issue.
Will there be an update within foreseeable time?
Last beta is from more then 2 years ago.
Hope you will i use pep all the time.

Coincidentally, I've been re-working PEP for the last few weeks to change the coding style to that which AMO prefers. During this re-write, I will try to incorporate the items I have in my todo list, including your suggestion.

Can you give me a URL that uses flash for logins? That will give me a page to use while testing.

Great news Thnks.

Here is the link.

Uhgg ... I've spent the last few days trying to get PEP to work on the page you gave me with no luck. It seems that Flash generates its own context menu and it cannot be accessed through JavaScript.

I did notice, however, that the Flash context menu does have its own "Paste" menu item, but it will not paste anything into the first field. The other fields do seem to accept clipboard content during the paste.

I am considering adding a "copy pastetext to clipboard" option to Paste Email Plus. If you were to right-click on a pastetext item in the PEP list, a context menu would appear with the option to "Copy this item to clipboard". Then you could right-click on the Flash input field and use "Paste" to insert the text. It's a few extra steps, but I don't know of any better way to do it. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the effort you put in it. It's a shame it didn't work out dough. Hopefully not many more sites come up with the idea to use flash as an input then.
Pasting in the first field works, it does only accept numbers dough.
The workaround you're suggesting would work just fine for me. thnx.
I have no better idea right now either.

Thank you Chuck.

Hi Chuck,

I found another site where PEP don't seem to work, this one is not flash as far as I can see.
And there isn't a paste option either.
Maybe you can take a look at it?

Thank you.

edit: If the prefilled text is deleted then it works.

What is the url of the site?

[marco275]

Oops.. sorry
Here it is.
At the site, scroll down and click the label 'onderteken de petitie' that appears on the lower right of the screen.

I've just finished Paste Email Plus v4.0beta. It now allows you to copy pastetext items to the clipboard so they can be pasted into flash forms (or anywhere else, for that matter).

As a test, I defined a category named "Some flash sites":



Then I created a couple of pastetext items in that category:



To copy the pastetext, right-click on a pastetext label (in the PasteEmailPlus drop-down menu) and click "Copy pastetext to clipboard":



Next you can paste the item into a flash input field by either using right-click > Paste or ctrl-v

I've included the new version as an attachment below. This is a beta version, so to be safe, make sure to copy the file /pasteemailplus.json somewhere for safekeeping. If you find any bugs, you can always install your current PEP version and copy the data file back.

Thank you very much Chuck..
Will try it right away.
