I'm adding a print button to a game for client. The only code I've found that actually works is this
ActionScript Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}
And then the frame that's to be printed has "#p" for a frame label. It works, but I would like to be able to change the orientation from the default portrait, to landscape.
is there anyway to bypass the print dialog box while using printJob.Start() method? is there anyway to set desired value for page orientation from the script.

View 3 RepliesIs anyone able to actually make it work properly in Flex SDK 4.6?
Here's a short snippet :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code]....
What I'm trying to achieve is to support Landscape mode in both orientations, so if user turns the device 180 degress, the screen should also rotate. But there should be no action at all, when user rotates the device to one of portrait orientations. Instead, I'm seeing width changes to navigator action bar and sometimes content in portrait orientations, so apparently preventing the event is not enough. I'm using the "official" way Adobe suggests, but the problem is that it's not working very well. Granted, the stage does not change, but it seems that there's something firing in navigator anyway, since you can see the action bar width changing.
I had some success with explicitly setting layoutbounds to fixed width in handler method - this prevents changing the actionbar width, but it's only a temporary solution - if the view is a subject to a transition, or some other redraw - it will again render with bad sizes. As if there was something below that was telling it that it's in portrait mode, even though I'm trying to prevent it.
Before you detonate with some silly ideas like "autoOrient = false", don't. It's clearly not a solution for this problem. Obviously it's a bug with Flex SDK - did anyone find a way to fix it or a stable workaround?

I have very limited knowledge of Actionscript but can work my way around Flash CS4 well enough, but I've recently run into some trouble. I have these blue buttons in my flash file which are animated and want to make green. I initially tried to simply change them in Photoshop but I did not make the original file and this did not work. I then looked at how to change color (hue) through actionscript and saw a few methods.

View 8 RepliesI have 2 simple objects on stage: 1 is a static circle with a sharp tip (to show direction of the object) and 1 moving circle (moves according to users mouse or just a constant random move).
I want the static circle orientation to change according to moving circle position (so the sharp tip will always point at the moving circle).
What I did is divide the stage to 8 sections, each is linked to a specific orientation of the static circle.
I have a question about Papervision3D, or perhaps bitmapData, I am unsure where the problem is. I have constructed a program that takes 4 banners and splits them into pieces and then applies those pieces to cubes so that I can make a banner rotator. So after I run my program I have 10 cubes with a piece of a banner on 4 faces(front, top, back, bottom) of each cube. The problem is that some of the faces are oriented incorrectly(spun 180 degrees).
Is there a way in Papervision3D to spin a cube face? The other place I think the problem may be is when I create the bitmapData that will be applied to the cube faces. Is there some way to explicitly define orientation during bitmapData creation?
