I need to copy a chart from excel in an AIR application, and although i can paste this chart as a bitmap into photoshop or word i am having no luck extracting this bitmap from the copied chart. It seems excel is placing on the clipboard an object with more complex data than just a bitmap. Is there any way i can access clipboard data from external applications that are more complex than simple text or bitmap objects?
