Flex Clipboard does not work with Chrome

I need to copy some data to the system clipboard in Flex, so it can be copied into Excel. When a user clicks a button, the click handler will call a method that generates the Excel HTML data and copies it to the clipboard (approximately 2.5 MB data).

I have tried two approaches:

System.setClipboard(xml.toString());

and

Clipboard.generalClipboard.setData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT, xml.toString());

The data is correctly copied to the clipboard when I run the application in Internet Explorer 11 (32 bit) and Firefox, but in Chrome it does not copy the data.

Chrome 36.0.1985.143 m
Flash 14.0.0.177
Flex version: 4.6.0

EDIT: It should be noted that copying to the clipboard from Flex using Chrome works for small copies (tested with 4KB). Am I hitting some sort of limit on Chrome?

Maybe try adding a 'wmode' parameter in your html template file and then setting that to 'direct'? 

var params = {};
        params.wmode = "direct";
