how would I set pj.addPage to keep adding the mc till all the mc had been loaded?
I have a very long Flash movie which is about 3 pages worth. I am not able to print it in 3 pages...
View 3 RepliesI've got a flash move that has a movieclip off-stage that contains a textbox that stretches with the text I put in it.
I've got this code on a button to print the movieclip:
Code:
on (press) {
var myPrint:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
myPrint.start();
[Code].....
This correctly tagets the clip I want but only prints out one page. How do i get it to print multiple pages if the content is long enough?
I have a printjob routine, that starts a new job, then handles the following in a loop for printing multiple pages: 1. update content for every page in a sprite. every loop it's the same sprite. the sprite is visible on stage 2. addPage to Printjob after that sends the printjob to the printer
Now the Problem: On Windows it runs perfectly. On Mac only the last page was printed. the other pages before are empty (white). Her's my code. As you can see i try to print a table on multiple pages. In every loop i only show the rows for the actually printing page:
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
{
pj = new PrintJob();
try

Getting error: Print job canceled as it took more than 15 seconds to complete.
How can i set print time for flex printjob.
when the time is ripe my program will automatically print my job
eg. i want to print my job at 11.00 AM i will set print time in my program to 11.00 AM when time is 11.00 AM flex will automatically print my job
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.
Code is below
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;
[Code]....
I don't want to change position of "printBitmap" - alternatively "bitmapData" - or anything else.
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.
View 1 RepliesThough 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've made an mc with an attached txt field offstage from which to print from. The text that populates the off stage tf is all blocky and non vector looking...so are the printed sheets. I am using both html formatting and textformat formatting on the print text. It is a dynamic text field. It has this problem with both the printed result and when i peak off stage to look at the actual fields loaded with this text. I've already tried adding dummy fields offstage with the "embed" option activated.
View 7 RepliesI 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'm trying to load a bunch of external images, and then print them all in the same PrintJob. For testing i tried 40 images at around 599kb. I load all images using Loaders and check that all images are fully loaded (by Event.INIT) and put the images in separate Sprites.When this is done i start a new PrintJob, loop throug all my images and add them to the PrintJob, and then PrintJob.send(); At least this is what i want to do. What happens is this:

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 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way that I can print a range of jpgs that aren't currently loaded in my movie.
I have a list of thumbnails of photos (with correlating larger version residing externally)each with a number. I want the user to be able to specify a range they would like to print. I think I've gotten close by trying to create a new cast member and load the jpg into it for each one in the range. However my movie keeps hanging and not responding why I try that method.
I was wondering if there is an easy way of navigating through a website without the use of multiple pages and eliminate the use of a navigation bar. My idea, which I'm sure has been done before because people are always coming up with new inventive ways to browse the internet, is to be able to allow the user to free roam the entire website on one page. I wouldn't be asking if I found it so I figured I could put my mind at ease and ask someone.url...In this map, it allows the user to free roam this map and find different cities. My idea is to have the user to browse a map of a website to different parts of what would normally be links to other pages. The whole web map would be one page and the user could just move their cursor up or down or left to right to each section of the website. Once they get to a section, they can click on certain parts. There is one website that is similar to my idea, but I want to eliminate the use of a navigation bar.I am new to flash but I love web design. I want to come up with a new way to navigate.
View 5 RepliesHow 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.

Working on a picture gallery with multiple pages. The basic idea of what I'm trying to do is I get a list of all thumbs, separate the list in groups of 20 and then add all the groups to a MC that slides left and right when the user presses a left or right button.This is the code I've written:

The menu has 7 buttons which work, then on each of those pages is 6 more buttons.

This is the code im using to control the buttons on pages from the menu.

Right now if i click anywhere on the loaded swf it unloads (i want that to be specified).

I'm creating a interactive cd in Flash.In my flash file is a movieclip that consists 103 frames. Every frame is a different page.I'm using Indesign to create this pages because its the best way to work with so many different pages.When I export the pages to .jpg everything looks and goes wel. Only the quality becomes very low when putting the swf to fullscreen.I've tried exporting it as .swf but is it wisely to put 103 .swf in a flash file? I'd like to keep the text vector and readable on every screen size.

This is hard to explain, so bear with me... I'm creating "pages" of draggable buttons so that I can reorder them according to their revised positions. Everything works great but I'm stumped as to how to drag the buttons forward or backward a page based on the current active page. If you look at the file you'll see exactly what I mean. I have a portion of the code commented out because that's the area I'm stuck on.
All the MC's are created on the initial load, with each additional page appearing "off the screen" by an adding 1000 pixels per page (in the X direction). Then I just reposition all the MC's as the pages are scrolled through.
What I really want to do is drag a button to the edge of the screen and have all the MC's move that represent the appropriate page. I think I need some sort of timer there or it just flies to the last page.
FYI, if you change the variable "TotalVBs" it will modify the number of displayed buttons. If you change the variable "myButtonScale" it will modify the scale of the buttons. Increasing either or both of these will add more pages to the program. [code]...
I'm kind of stuck on something and I haven't been able to find out how to get around this. I have a form that consists of 3 pages. User fills out the first page, then clicks continue, fills out second page, then clicks continue again, then fills out final page then submits. Usually when I build a form, it's just on one page so I just send all of the variables to a php file. In this situation, I'm not sure how I could jump from page to page.
