ActionScript 1/2 :: Create One MC That Contains Informations On One Row And Add It To The AddPage Of PrintJob
Sep 14, 2010
For my work I have to introduce a Print button that will prints everything that is in the cart. However, I never did anything of that sort in Flash,.For now, I did a bit of research about how to do it and I do understand I'll have to use PrintJob with another MovieClip... but I need a bit of explanations about a few things.
First, in the cart (which can be printed), there are several "items" that have the same informations, such as the name, the price, comments, etc.Do I have to create one MC that contains informations on one row and add it to the AddPage of PrintJob (I will have 5 MC [5 pages] if I have 5 items in cart), or add all the items into the same MC?
Also, the flash is horizontal (1920x1280). Do I have to change the orientation of the PrintJob to print in landscape? Plus, how to know if the text is far enought of the margins? Do I have to consider the margins in the MC and thus puts a good distance between the borders of the MC and my content?
Adding a "page" to the PrintJob, how does it work? Is it a real "paper page"? I hope you understand what I mean by that, I can give more details if needed but I can't give the source (.fla).
AddPage function throwing a Time out Error: #1052 What I needed my app to do was to load a some content (text, images, and other swf files) from disk/the web and print them out. It would load all that content first, arrange it into pages and the start the PrintJob. First I tried a for loop to spool the pages, and when that didn't work, I tried an event based loop (hoping it was the for loop that was allowing for a timeout). I was using flash professional CS3 to develop and compile. I switched over to CS5 and the time out no longer occurs. The upgrade doesn't do that annoying thing where it renders the transparent parts of images in black.
If I try to add ~70 High Resolution Sprites to a PrintJob using addPage() in a loop, I suffer a lot of slow down and performance issues.I am thinking I should perhaps create individual print jobs for each page, or maybe batch them together.
I have to develop an iOS application able to read "news" by an existent mySql DB on my customer's web site.Is there a way to do this in AS3? I didn't wrote that DB, but I've got these informations:
Served Address; 33.222.1.000 DB: myDbName User Login: brandon Password: *******
I never used DBs in my personal works, then I don't know how to implement my code to communicate (read only) with my customer's web site database.
I have a page (MovieClip) which is charger and have a attribut a matrix (not the class). On this page, there is some cases (MovieClip) which receive value of the matrix.
Each cases are managed by Class. It's a good option, because I can put a listener into the contructor of the class and not having 64 functions if I have 64 cases. This listener allows to change the value of the cases when it clicked.
The problem is that I don't see how to know when a case is clicked in the page for changing the value of the matrix.
I have a strange problem with LocalConnection.Situation: A sample e-shop. I have a parent .swf who load 3-4 external swf.In a external swf (let's name it "X") u can order items u want.
Because i don't want to lose the informations of the 'shopping' bag of customer when the parent swf unload the 'X' and load something another (for example "contact us"), i use localconnection with both duplex between parent swf and 'X'.
Problem: In the swf "X" i have an array "Bag" which holds the id of items the customer clicked to buy. When change the external swf, i send via localconnection to the parent .swf this array (done, i tried with trace).
I'm trying to create a webRadio player, wich different sources. On a click on a button, the player plays the corresponding flow. I would like to display some informations, like : current music, url, description, I think it's possible to have all those informations, because when I play my. files in my audio player (winamp), I've got them. Here is my code corresponding to this part :
I have a parent .swf who load 3-4 external swf. In a external swf (let's name it "X") u can order items u want. Because i don't want to lose the informations of the 'shopping' bag of customer when the parent swf unload the 'X' and load something another (for example "contact us"), i use localconnection with both duplex between parent swf and 'X'.
Problem: In the swf "X" i have an array "Bag" which holds the id of items the customer clicked to buy. When change the external swf, i send via localconnection to the parent .swf this array (done, i tried with trace). And when the parent loads again the external .swf "X" , it send again the same array via localconnection to "X". The "X" receives it right (done, i verified it with trace). The strange is.. when the customer clicks another item, the array resets to zero!!!
I am having a problem with my printJob. I have a button setup to call the printJob. When I click it the pages that I want to print, print properly the first time. But then if I click the button again to print the same page, it does not work. The button continues to work and calls the function properly, but after that it does not work. Here is the code that I am using:
public function Print_PTSD(event:MouseEvent):void{ trace("Print button clicked"); //Generate the Sprite to be printed
I am looking to add a print job to my flash presentation. I have the basic code and can get it to print, but I have to manually set the printer to print landscape and the image is in the top left corner. If it was just for me it wouldn't be a big deal, but a lot of our presentations go to lawyers and judges so we would like to streamline their results as much as possible. Is there a way to tell it to rotate 90 degrees and center itself on the page. Below is the code I am using. I tried to use some parameters to set it for landscape, but they don't seem to work. My doc size is 720x540.[code]
Though Flash docs say: 15 second script timeout limit applies to the following intervals: PrintJob.start() and the first PrintJob.addPage() PrintJob.addPage() and the next PrintJob.addPage() The last PrintJob.addPage() and PrintJob.send() It looks like 15 seconds is the maximum interval between the first and the last addPage() With Script time limits it can be changed up to 60 seconds, no more.
I have to print 50 and more pages of static text, it often takes more than 60 seconds, and I get #1502 Error (Time Out)
For test I use Flash file with that simple code at frame 1:
stop(); var count:Number = 0 var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob()
[Code].....
"myMC" is a MovieClip with static TextField containing 1000 "a" characters. When it is published as AS2, prints all 150 pages - prints as long as necessary. With AS3 prints 14 pages only before timeout - prints for 15 seconds only.
how to overcome 60 seconds time limit? P.S. Timer event and EnterFrame event do not work after PrintJob.start().
I have an SWF that has a print function attached to a button that prints a movie clip called content_MC.I have the SWF set with a transparent background using the wmode=transparent in the embed object.The FLA/SWF has a white stage/background.When I print the SWF that is set with a transparent background to PDF the background prints as black. I'm assuming this is because of the wmode=transparent setting in the embed object. What I need is for the embed object to stay transparent on the website but for the background to be white when someone prints.Is there some sort of variable in the PrintJob class that might handle this?url...
I embedded that (as a swf) in Captivate5 and published.It was working fine.... When I went into it today to modify some of the text it quit working. After long struggles and thne restoring the original version. I discovered that the original version was no longer working either. So sometime in the last couple of weeks this Flash AS3 file contained in Captivate5 has stopped working. The print function now produces a page that has a light gray box the size of the bounding rectangle of what is supposed to be the content (which is almost entirely text) The rest of the piece works fine and the printing function is as basic as it gets. All of what I am trying to print is contained in a single frame of a one frame movie clip:
function doPrintReport() { var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob(); if (!myPrintJob.start()) { //printing canceled return; }else{ myPrintJob.addPage(this.report_mc); myPrintJob.send(); }}
And this was working just fine... a couple of weeks ago - Back on April 14th to be precise. This is currently living on my local IIS server on my Windows 7 64bit desktop. I have tried running it in Windows IE 8 and Firefox 3.6 - Again the original version was working and now is not.
I have a web application, wherein i am using Printjob class to print my flash content over the connected printer.
While browsing the application on web browser (desktop) it opens a print dailog box which is fine, but same application while browsing from android devices is not working..
I am publishing the content using less than the 10.2 version of the flash player.
I can currently print one page from a flipbook by typing the page number in a text field and using the actionscript below. What I'd like to be able to do is print a range of pages. Can someone help me modify this script below to allow for a range to be printed?[code]
I want print some sprite which is created by "draw(someSprite)" method in BitmapData.Everything is fine but... I want put some margins in my print page, and I don't know how .Of course I could set right position of my "someSprite" but I don't want change my site to print it. (Using Rect... in BitmapData.draw() and addPage() dont work.) Simple flashdevelop project is in zip file.
I have one movie clip which is having extenally loaded png image. Now i want to print it.Its printing but showing one white box behind the image that means its not printing transparent image.My code is as follows:
I am having an issue with the printjob class where it is not printing the jpgs on the screen. it prints everything else, just not the image. Also, it seems to be inconsistent in that I have gotten it to work, but the majority of times it doesn't.
I have a set of dynamic textfields created and loaded with text at runtime. When I go to print them they print OK but on close inspection you can see that the printed version has words dropping down a line compared to the version on the screen!
I have tried different align settings for the text, system fonts and embedded fonts, cacheAsBitmap the textfields, printAsBitmap=true option, all to no effect.
The only thing that has worked is by drawing the texfields to a bitmapdata and printing that instead. This produces an exact copy of the screen version but the printed quality is very bad and unacceptable.
I'm pretty sure its not a procedural error in my code as the bitmapdata version is made in the same flow. So could it be a quirk in Textfield or TextFormat, or a quirk in PrintJob?
I'm having an issue where when I try to print a larger image via printjob one of two things happens. One either the job fails or two the output of the image is literally diagonally cut off. I am simply passing the stage to the print job. I've tried both with and without using printAsBitmap.
I want to know if anyone has successfully printed something from Flex.
By successful I am talking about some sort of report or document or whatever.
I know its fairly simple to print a component(which is a bit cheap) from Flex by using the printJob() class and passing a component. But I want to pass an object like a list or XML to printJob().
Basically I've created a print class which has all the print job code in to print a sprite, however when I print it, the sprite which I've created acts like a mask and the area where the sprite graphic should be is filled with my background colour.When I scale the image to the width and height of the print width and height, obviously I've got a page full of purple.here's my code:
public function print():void { //bitmap_to_print.smoothing = true; var print_page:Sprite = new Sprite();
I want to call the Flex printing API to set the print arguments before sending printing command.But there is no method in Flex(FlexPrintJob or PrintJob) to set the printing orientation.Are there some methods to solve this problem?My project is running in B/S structure and the view layer is in Flex.
im trying to print something from flash onto multiple pages, i have the most basic text box i know is too long to fit on one sheet of a4 paper. when i run the print job in flash it only prints the first page. very annoying. can't find anything online to reslove the issuee is my code.
ActionScript Code: var pageCount:Number = 0; objPrintJob = new PrintJob();
