Sorry, I wasn't clear. I used "put" just to see the binary data in the
message box. Later in my post I mentioned setting the imagedata but I
wasn't specific about it.
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 see, you want to transfer the image to another program. The image is
there, when I check on my Mac ("Show clipboard" in the Finder's edit
menu) it isn't displayed but the clipboard says it contains a TIFF
image. When I try to paste into Graphic Converter, it says the image
contains two formats and gives me a choice: png or TIFF. I can paste
either one into a blank document. The original I copied was a png.
It works with either of these:
copy img 1
set the clipboarddata["image"] to img 1
So maybe we need a way to specify that only a certain format should be
included in the image content. I would guess the ability to paste
elsewhere would depend on the receiving app's ability to separate the
two formats and choose one. Graphic Converter is good that way, it puts
up a dialog and asks which one to use.
