This seems to be a problem with Adobe Flash. I'll see what I can do.

I'm still looking into the issue.

The best thing to do is a screen grab of the chart and paste that into your presentation. Flash does not provide a simple way to do what you are looking for unfortunately.

I'll try to check back with our client if they are OK with the long process of Print Screen, then paste to Paint, then crap the portion of the graph or chart, then copy paste.
They are in the financial industry and using screen grab software or freeware is a No-No for them.

Hi Joseph

another option might be to use google charts API. I've got a few charts in my application which are displayed on the screen, or e-mailed to clients, and they can be copied and pasted because they are just images.

chart API is very easy to use, you just pass some data in the URL, and Google send you back a picture.
