ActionScript 2.0 :: Can't Print Multipage HTML Text
Jun 14, 2010
Despite my better judgment I've gotten into a position where I have to print large amounts of html text from flash. By large I just mean that it may have to be broken up into multiple pages. After much frustration however I have come up with what seems to be a pretty consistent solution (described below).
The one problem I'm still having is that there are sometimes images embedded in the html text and those are not printing consistently. At first I figured I just needed to add in a delay to give them time to load. This is kind of true. If I don't give any delay none of the images will print. However, even with a long delay (i've tried up to 10 seconds) there are still the occasional missing images. I've checked the image paths and they display just fine on screen. It seems to have something to do with number of pages and/or scrolling issues with the text field. Images on the first page always print. If there is an image on the second page and the print job is only 2 pages, the image on the second page never seems to print. If there is an image on the second page, but the print job spans 3 or more pages then that image will print. Anyway, as you can see it's really weird am I'm just hoping someone can point me in a direction because I don't even know what else to check for.[code]...

I've made a few sites a few years ago with flash CS3/AS2 and using the TextArea as an output for xml content. that really sucked and looked terrible as it flashed white everytime it was loading (especially on slow connections). so I don't want to go that route again.sir!ok, so I have a banner that has 3 text elements per page (with various graphics per page behind the text) ...all text needs to be live as it is fed by 3 different languages. (referably the image link too)1. consistant big title across 8 pages2. sub-title that changes per page3. paragraph of text per sub-title4. the background imageEach of the 8 "slides" lasts about 6 seconds each (this part im fine with and sorted in AS2...but not AS3). On the top left are 8 numbered buttons that a user can click on to view whichever "slide" they may have missed or whatever. (this part i'm ok with....just the external text and formating are the issue)how would i go about setting this up via dynamic text with either XML or PHP in CS4/AS3? (using dynamic text fields, but so its nicely formated).

I am trying to print a HTML from my air app, however, this HTML should never be seen on screen. I am using HTMLLoader for this, as per some sample I saw on the web.
What happens, is that there is a print dialog, but it prints out a blank page.
If this is a window application, and I click some button to print (just the HTMLLoader) it gets printed.
Following is my code.
var mySprite:Sprite = new mySprite()
var loader:HTMLLoader = new HTMLLoader()
loader.loadString("ADDRESSThu Aug 20 21:37:20 GMT+0530 2009")

Basically I'm trying to make an air app which contains a variety of different pages - I was under the understanding that each page would have its own class file, with everything being instantiated for that page within the class file.
If that is the case, then how would I make the transition from class to class and also remove the previous class so it doesnt take up memory?

I'm printing a multipage report from a single Movieclip (MC). The parent MC has a minimum of 6 dyanmically created pages. What I do is loop thru a data array and create multiple pages from a template MC that I have in my library and that I access thru it's AS linkage.As I loop thru the data each page is added to the parent MC. They are stacked vertically. Each page is 720px high so page 1 starts at 0, page 2 starts at 720, etc.
Once the report is created I used Printjob to print the MC. Here's the loop to print the report. I use a defined rectangle area to create each page from the report MC. As I loop thru the pages the Rectangle location is move accordingly.

I am trying to create a print button on the last frame that will allow the user to print just that frame. I've tried using the printjob object, but all that I can get to happen is print a blank sheet of paper. Here is the code that I have so far:

{
var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

I am trying to make a print button that will print the contents of a mc...this mc basically holds a dynamically drawn floorplan which can be zoomed and panned...I want to be able to print the contents of the mc, and only what is viewable in the mc at the time of the print...so if you are zoomed in, all that prints are the actual objects visibly seen in the mc...I think it may be with the print command using bmovie but I have no idea how to assign a #b lable to the frame.

I am not able to print more than 5 pages in one go. I want to print almost 12 pages in one print job. I am creating the movieclips of each page by adding the dynamic data in to it and store in an array. When all the movieclips created and stored in an array(pagesAry) then it call the following function to print those pages:
private function sendToPrinter():void

To print images the PrintJob class must be set to "printasBitmap". If the page has text and images in the same way PrintJob needs "printasBitmap" to print the images. But this setting become text jagged, low resolution, bad quality.

I am working on a exam program in Flash CS5. There's a page that displays the scores for each test a user has completed; and on that page I'm putting a print button so the users can print the results. So far I've found only one script that will actually work to print anything at all[code]...
The dynamic text boxes are supposed to be placed inside a movie clip called "proforma" and you're supposed to be able to place it anywhere, even off the stage - but where it apparently worked for the person in the thread I found it in, it doesn't work in my program. I don't know if it prints the dynamic text boxes; I can't get that far, because when I click print using this script, it tries to print every single frame in the program and practically kills my computer in the process, trying to spool so many pages.
