ActionScript 2.0 :: PrintJob Only Printing Blank Pages?
Sep 23, 2009
I had this working and then I placed the make movie clip and printjob parts of the script into functions and the wheels fell off. So I step backward and try to simplify it but it is still not working. It's been years since I worked in Flash but I've been asked to give this project a shot so I'm kind of learning to ride the bike again.
Code:
on (release) {
var pagearray = new Array();
if (eventChoice == "all") {
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 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.
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.

I am trying to print a movieclip with printjob in flash. This movieclip contains two layers: one with a PNG image with transparency and one below with a jpg image. The problem is that the transparency of the png is not respected so the jpg image does not appear. The code i'm using is real simple: var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
A client needs a standard consumer color printer for printing name badges from my flash app. Last time we used the app, I couldn't do any pre-testing of their computer and printer beforehand. So, of course, the margins were completely wrong when the time came to print. Ideally, I'll have the flash app's bugs worked out for the next run, but for safety's sake does anyone know of a printer that has good controls for custom margins and offsets, in case some minor adjustments are needed?
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().
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();
where i developed an app that uses the webcam, adds an image and then takes a picture, well, i implemented textbook style the printjob, and well everytime after printing my swf goes blank. http:[url]...........But now i have been continuing testing, and i found out, that if i print from another application and then comeback, my video stream from the webcam is blank, this has no sense at all, since i am printing from another app. http:[url]....What is going on here i mean, this must be a flash player issue right.
How can I print multiple pages in Flash (based on dynamic HTML content that might vary in length)? For instance, how would I grab the text that is beyond the limits of that first page (the printJob.pageHeight)? I can get the text fields text height and subtract the printJob's page height but how would I grab 'the leftover' text.
I am making a flip book in flash. I am using swf files as individual pages. User have the option to print pages. I am converting the swf into a btimap using bitmap data but when I print the test is not clear and all pixelated. Is there any way to improve the printing quality of pages?
Code var clipAImprimer=new ClipToPrint(); //In my library var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob(); if (myPrintJob.start()) { For(var i=0; i<clipAImprimer.totalFrames; i++) { myPrintJob.addPage(clipAImprimer, null, null,i); } myPrintJob.send(); clipAImprimer=null; }
I try to print all frames of a movieClip where each frame is a unique page. My movieClip have 3 different frames. The result is that I have 3 pages, but it's printing only the first one. I tried to call myPrintJob.addPage(clipAImprimer, null, null,1); and myPrintJob.addPage(clipAImprimer, null, null,2); to make a test and it's the same result. I confirm that my clip has 3 different frames. I tried too label #p each frame but it's not effective for PrintJob. I have Flash CS4 and I can't use Flex, Air and Catalyst.
I have a sprite that has a scrollbar that uses the scrollrect feature. The sprite has several bitmaps and textfields. When I print the outer sprite (The one with the scrollrect) all of the textfields outside the scrollrect are cut after the first line. In case anyone else is having problems with printing sprites with scrollrects using the bitmap printing option fixes and prints most of the stuff in the sprite. Excluding all textfields outside of the scrollrect. This however can be fixed partially by embedding your fonts.
So now the only problem left is printing multiline textfields that are outside the scrollrect. P.S. Imho the scrollrect should have nothing to do with the printed area of the sprite because the printJob.addPage has a printarea parameter.
Looking for a tutorial to make individual pages (jpg or gif) into swf pages so we can add links in an on-line flip book. I have flash, but have not learned as of yet.
I would like to know how to track my pages with google analytics to see which pages are getting the most clicks. My site is XML / Flash the menu is xml. Could I put the tracking code on each of the menu items in the xml file?
I'm trying out a page-flip program that tells me to create the pages as jpegs within a folder named "pages" in the Library. When I try to run it, it tells me it can't find the jpegs. I can get it to work locally by including the full URL (i.e., "...My Documentsedinnerpartiesimagesp3-large.jpg), but I know this isn't embedded in the swf file.
I have created a website with one flash animation banner.The banner .swf has 5 menus. Each menu goes to different movieclips inside the .swf file. and at the same time i want to load the corresponding html file when i click the menu button and place the html content into the bottom area of the main html page without refreshing the html page.
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]
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.
