You can do this through AS only if Flash Projector is scriptable, and the
dictionary supports getting values from text fields. Drag and drop Flash
Projector onto the Script Editor to see whether it has a dictionary. If the
dictionary has something like a "selection" object listed, then you might be
able to do this:

set clipboard to the current selection

If there is no dictionary, or the dictionary supports only the required
suite of events (Open, Close, Print, Quit), then you're hosed. You'll need
to use a product like OneClick, QuickKeys, or Prefab Player to get at what
you need. HTH.
