# ZeroClipboard
The ZeroClipboard library provides an easy way to copy text to the clipboard using an invisible [Adobe Flash](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash) movie and a [JavaScript](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) interface. The "Zero" signifies that the library is invisible and the user interface is left entirely up to you.
## Simple Example
``` html
```
``` js
// main.js
var client = new ZeroClipboard( document.getElementById("copy-button"), {
moviePath: "/path/to/ZeroClipboard.swf"
} );
client.on( "load", function(client) {
// alert( "movie is loaded" );
client.on( "complete", function(client, args) {
// `this` is the element that was clicked
this.style.display = "none";
alert("Copied text to clipboard: " + args.text );
} );
} );
```
See the [instructions](docs/instructions.md) for more advanced options in using the library on your site.
Here is a working [test page](http://zeroclipboard.org/#demo) where you can try out ZeroClipboard in your browser.
## Testing ZeroClipboard Locally
To test the page [demo page](http://zeroclipboard.org/#demo) locally, clone the [website repo](https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard.org).
## Support
This library is fully compatible with Flash Player 10, which requires that the clipboard copy operation be initiated by a user click event inside the Flash movie. This is achieved by automatically floating the invisible movie on top of a [DOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_Object_Model) element of your choice. Standard mouse events are even propagated out to your DOM element, so you can still have rollover and mouse down effects.
Works in IE7+ and all of the evergreen browsers.
