ZeroClipboard is a javascript + flash script that allows the browser to put text into the clipboard, it puts a transparent flash over the selected element , and when you click it you can insert text into the clipboard, this works, no problem, but i want to make it automatic. Onload put a string in the clipboard, for the user to be able to paste it latter. Some code main.js
$('document').ready(function() {
ZeroClipboard.setMoviePath("http://url/to/ZeroClipboard.swf");
var clip=new ZeroClipboard.Client();
clip.on( 'load', function(client) {
clip.glue('#redirlink');
} );
});

ok now the question is how can i simulate a click event on the the zeroClipboard puts? i have tried with , $('#obkect_id").click(); it doesn't work (the event fires, but it has no effect on the clipboard, but when i click with the mouse, it works). Is there any way i can achieve that?

The newest versions of ZeroClipboard have done away with Client(). Hence the code changes a bit too. Download the latest version from Github here
Also then say you want to update/put some string when page/element loads. Say on clicking the 'element' having id '#id', the clipboard needs to be loaded with some text
<script>
var str = 'Some text';
$('element').attr('data-clipboard-text','str');
ZeroClipboard.setDefaults({moviePath:'http://...../ZeroClipboard.swf'});
var clip = new ZeroClipboard($('#id'));
clip.on('complete',function(client, args){
alert('Copied');
});
</script>
Hope this helps
