Is there any way to Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.RICH_TEXT_FORMAT,*) with a picture

I want to be able to send text and pictures to clipboard.

How can you convert a bitmap so it can be in the clipboard with RICH_TEXT_FORMAT later I will add text

You use the BITMAP_FORMAT format type and pass as Object a BitmapData; the 3rd argument is whether the data should be serializeable (for use in another AIR app) - the function signature is:

public class Clipboard
{
    public function setData(format:String, data:Object, serializable:Boolean = true):Boolean
}

... in context:

var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(400, 50, false, 0);
bitmapData.perlinNoise(10, 50, 3, (Math.random() * 255) | 0, true, true);

Clipboard.generalClipboard.clear();
Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT, bitmapData, false);

... run then paste in any graphics editor.
