Zeroclipboard: Swf Loaded, But Not Working

ZeroClipboard doesn't work and it doesn't throw any errors (javascript console). The website is hosted on a HTTPS webserver running on localhost. Both the website and the SWF are s

Solution 1:

After months I finally found a solution:

ZeroClipboard doesn't work out-of-the-box in CommonJS environments in the browser, even it says it does.

The fix for that is assigning the module scope variable (e.g. ZeroClipboard) to the global window object:

ZeroClipboard = require("zeroclipboard");window.ZeroClipboard = ZeroClipboard;

I created a bug report on this: https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard/issues/332

Solution 2:

I'm not sure if this would help~ but have you tried changing your moviePath a little bit? Like this:

{moviePath:"//YOURSERVER/path/ZeroClipboard.swf"}

I was trying to use ZeroCLipboard in the whole month and most of the time I fail because I got the path wrong in one way or another...

Good luck anyways~

Solution 3:

If you extract the project exactly, the .SWF file is located here:

moviePath:"../zeroclipboard.swf"

Solution 4:

I solved editing this line on ZeroClipboard.min.js

return a+"ZeroClipboard.swf"

to:

return"//YOUR/PATH/TO/ZeroClipboard.swf"

Solution 5:

Would just like to point out for anybody else who finds this question first: ZeroClipboard does not work when looking at the file locally i.e. file://path/index.html. This is because of Adobe's security policies blocking the file:// protocol.

If you're already using Node.js at all (even just for the package manager) you can spin up a basic web server on the command line to test ZeroClipboard with npm install http-server -g and http-server /path/ (assuming that npm stuff is already on your path).
