Unable to compile clippy (swf clipboard utility)

I am having trouble compiling clippy using the instructions here: https://github.com/mojombo/clippy/blob/master/README.md

I've downloaded clippy and have tried compiling on Mac, Linux, and Windows and I keep getting the same result: The swf compiles with no apparent errors but when I try to load the clippy.swf in my webpage it is unresponsive. I've tried custom builds that others have done and it works fine - just building my own results in a dud. (and yes I do 开发者_C百科have haxe and swifmill installed). The only thing I can think of is perhaps the latest version of swifmill or haxe is causing the issue.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

According to the commit date and the haxe news, Haxe 2.02 was the latest version at that time.

There is a pull request Updating for newer swfmill/haxe versions which you could try. Also take a look at some of the other forks, there are several claiming to work with newer haxe versions, like this one for example.

Anyway, I don't see what this widget is doing other than creating a button which calls

flash.system.System.setClipboard(text);

It shouldn't be to hard to recreate this for the latest haxe version, if none of the forks should work.
