View 2 RepliesI'm using a scroll pane component to contain a horizontally scrolling timeline. I'm also setting up a print function, which has worked fine for me in the past (i.e., sans scroll pane). However I find that with the scroll pane, it only wants to print the elements of the scroll pane and not the contents. Is there a simple workaround or other solution for this?

I am trying to extract xml from a website and print its contents to a textfield by specifying a specific child. The problem is that the XML tags are also printing out.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield which i fill with HTML-text from an XML-file. This exceeds one page, and I would like to print it on several pages. How can I do this, when I use printjob.start it only prints one page...? And is it possible to track a word that is clicked? (to use as a link to other pages..)
View 2 RepliesI have a textinput component on my stage with an instance name of "myTxt" I would like to add some left padding to the contents of this textfield. I've tried:
myTxt.setStyle("textPadding", 5); But it adds top (and I assume bottom and right) padding in addition to the left padding. What is the best way to simply add left padding to the textfield's contents?
I have a dynamically loaded html enabled text field but when I used embedded fonts from the swf. It doesn't show some of the text but when I used device fonts... (from the system) it works fine. Why is that/? Can't I use embedded fonts? with a text field with contents that are html and loaded dynamically from a text file?

View 3 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesI have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
i want to know how did the creator of otradesign accomplish the effect in his site like the menu and the main contents change size and the menu position according to the size of main contents.
View 5 RepliesI am building a map which has different layers on it, all on top of one another, all 700x700px and all movieclips. I have a print button (PrintUp) which sends the movieclips to be printed, however when I print, they don't sit on top of one another, they come out separately. How can I get them to print on top of each other like they are in the swf?
The two movieclips are "Background" and "Grass"
Both 700x700 and exactly the same X&Y.
Here is the code below:
PrintUp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Print);
function Print(e:MouseEvent):void{
var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (printJob.start()) {
if (Background.width>printJob.pageWidth) {

I have a game I'm adding a print button to, for users to print their score at the end of the game. The problem is, is that the printing make some of the buttons look weird, for some reason (color is missing, a white box around the button, that should be empty/transparent). This is the script I'm using to print:
Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
print(drawingArea, "bframe")
}
I've tried a number of ways of making it so the buttons are seen normally, even tracing them as bitmap, but it makes everything lock up when I try to print that way and nothing else seems to work. So I want to temporarily make the buttons invisible, while it's printing, and then go back to vissible once it's done.It's easy enough setting the button alpha to 0, with
Code:
printButton.onPress = function() {
buttonInstanceName._alpha=0;
and then the script to print; it makes it invisible just before it prints, but what I need is way to reset the alpha to 100 once it's done printing.
I am having trouble exporting a movie from within flash player into a .eps for importing into Illustrator. I cannot use the native scene items for export within Flash CS3, since the content is dynamically generated when the movie is played, and would need to save the outcome. I am working in Master Suite CS3, so dont want to do anything that involves exporting into Corel or other suites.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to print my Flash work out to an EPS/Illustrator compatible file so that it can be opened in illustrator and printed.Used to be able to use the Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS printer driver but I am unable to find it anywhere. Is anyone else using any other updated drivers/techniques?
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to print all code and scripts that are inside of (and ideally, even imported into a .fla?? I've been brought on board a project with existing code, and I am having a real hard time discovering all the little hidden code bits inside of the Flash file. There's script attached to objects, script in imported .as files....there's script everywhere...and I don't know of any way to -see- all of it and print it out so I can go over it.For instance, in the Actions window, it'd be nice if I could right-click on "Scene 1" and select "Print" and have all of those little scripts print out.Even a way to do a "Flash-file-wide" (including all imported script files) Find/Search would be nice (something similar to Dreamweaver's site-wide "Find and Replace"). It seems like Flash limits its searches to the exact file window you have open at the time.
In particular, I'm currently looking for a function that is called - but whose code I cannot find anywhere. A "Find" inside the main .fla turns up nothing, and I've tried searching the outside .as files and still can't locate it. Just in case it was a built-in Flash library function I wasn't familiar with, I searched for that, too. No dice.Is there any functionality like this? Is it on anyone else's wish list? How does everyone else locate all the code bits on a large Flash project that has been undocumented?

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.
View 1 RepliesI have a app writing in Flex AS4. Now I have a component and I need to print it using FlexPrintJob. However, every time when users need to print it in landscape mode, he/she has to click the "Properties" button in the dialog of print and change the orientation from portrait to landscape and it is really annoying.
I wander if there is a way to control it in programming? In other words, can I change some codes to set the default properties of printers to print it in landscape mode?
I want to print the entire page from my flash application irrespective of the size which I have given. I know this can be done through scale-to-fit. I have used the following code to print from my flash application. The size of my stage is 1024 x 900 pixels and I would like to print in A4 size and scale to fit while printing. I haven't used any movie clip

I have a page that is loading external variables / images into the swf flash file, then comes to a stop on the last frame.
I need to print this exactly how it is on your screen on that last frame, with all the external images that have been preloaded etc etc. Exactly how you see it.
Is it possible to target just one frame of a movie clip using:
on (release) {
print("print_mc", "bmovie");
}
print_mc is a movie clip containing many frames all labeled #p, so that they will be printed. What if I only wanted one frame to be printed, is that possible?
My question is whether you can have a "generate jpeg" or "generate pdf" button within Flash that a user can click on and a .jpg or .pdf is generated from that.For example if I want a user to customize a Postcard to his/her likings and then save it as a jpg/pdf to print it, is that possible?Or to just have a print button that prints at high enough resolution to have it look good on paper (150-300dpi?)
View 1 RepliesI am creating a Flash project that involves loading 4 external .swf files (from a library of files), via MovieClipLoader, into one frame of the root timeline, creating a finished layout. Each of these external files sits on its own layer (1 to 4). I want to be able to print ALL 4 layers from this one frame, at once, on one piece of papercan this be done?if so could someone give me example of what the script might look likeI can print just one of the layers using:
on (release) {
printnum(1,"bframe");
}
I want to print a movieclip in flash. I want that if the size of the movieclip is more than the page size, then it automatically goes to the next page. How can I do this?
