Adobe Air - Copy image to clipboard

Question

I'm tying to modify this Air copy and paste tutorial from Adobe. How to copy an image to clipboard via keyboard Ctrl+C without selecting it first? (The example needs a click in the image before that works)

This is the related code: http://pastebin.com/geTPPwFd

Thanks Uli

var bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(displayObject.width, displayObject.height);
bmpData.draw(displayObject);
Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT, bmpData);
