ActionScript 3.0 :: Printing Frame With All Information On It?
Sep 13, 2011
I have an input text box, that, when you enter the name and click the next button, it takes you to frame two where your name is displayed with a whole bunch of other information. What I need though is to print the frame with all the information on it (frame 2) using a print button, but have no idea how to do so? I found a tutorial of creating a print button but that only works with printing a symbol. if I use that method (putting the dynamic textbox and all the other info in a symbol so that the button can print the symbol) the movie just jumps around.
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?
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.
i have a button named biografy_btn and that should link to another frame on same layer wich contains other information, i labeled that next frame: biografie
the code is:
stop(); biografie_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBiografie); function goBiografie(evt:Event) { this.gotoAndStop(''biografie''); }
but..it does not work, i keep seeing to tekst from frame 1 and the "other info" frame flickering both at same time and the button does not do a thing...
I have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.
[Code]....
So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.
I'm looking for a Flash Video Player (something like JWPlayer) that I can embed in an html page, that provides a JavaScript API with a method to get the exact timestamp (aka position, or frame-count) for the current frame.
I'm kinda noobish when it comes to getting information from XML information sent to my flash file from the socket server. OK so for example the server sends me this:
[Code]...
I want to get the name of the user and the X and Y position! Is there a way I can get this information without a load of fuss from functions and other junk remember im kinda noobish.
I want to build a program built around my pc specs. Is there a way to access such information as how much ram I have or how much cpu usage is being consumed, etc.?
I 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) { [Code] .....
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:
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
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.
I 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?
Is 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?
In s Flex 3 app, I have canvas with a PNG image for a background. The image is the same width & height as the canvas. I also have some other controls in the canvas:
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.
I 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.
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?)
I 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:
I have a dynamic text field with a UIScrollbar. I am have problems with printing the content of the textField. If I set the print function to print the textField I get the following error -
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text:
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?
I'm doing a kiosk-type flash application. and i have a print function at the end of the application, to print the receipt... but..1) whenever I press the PRINT button in flash, it will pop out a printing preference window and I will have to press OK then it will print. In other words, is it possible to skip selection printer window? I must print "directly" the job in the default printer. I'm develping a kiosk application and need print a "receipt".2) and then is there any code to check if the printing succeed or fail? so that if it fail, i will display a fail msg in flash.. etc..
I'm on to designing my 3rd app. I have two already in the Android and Apple stores. Fairly simple ideas these were. Now, I've come across a bit of a challenge. I want to design an app that contains a database of text files, many also containing pictures. I'd like to have it where you can view these files on, lets say, the iPad, and then print them wirelessly, or send them to yourself in an email, so they can be printed elsewhere.
I have considered just creating an ebook and selling that on the store, but I don't think apple allows you to print from these books. Has to be in PDF, and having an app would be a much better way of distributing and updating it. My idea is creating something quite siimilar to how Apples 'Pages' works, just without any editing capabilities. Select document and print. Sounds simple enough but I can't find any code or tutorials to help me out with this. What I want to know is... can I add a button, that will open up and use the printing options built into iOS? Is this possible to do in Flash with AS3 or would I need to learn how to use Flash Builder and Flex? Could it possibly be done in InDesign?
I am building my website in adobe flex(i am n00b). I have some photographs which I would like to make sure that people cannot print.
I do understand that it is not possible to completely stop users from printing. But atleast disable the context menu or just the print option and the copy option.
I have a flash movie which produces a certificate for participants in an online course.It gets the pageHeight, pageWidth from the printjob then scales the certficate image to fit nicely in the middle.This is working fine on windows and linux, but on the mac it is not behaving. It is chopping of the right and bottom edge of the certificate, I think because it's misreporting the page size - putting in some debugging information about the dimensions reports as expected - the same as on other platforms - but if I put two printouts on top of each other on a lightbox, the mac one is scaled up, mostly horizontally.
I have pre-existing PDF files which I would like to send to a PrintJob in Flex 3. I can load the files fine with UrlRequest, but I need to somehow get the data into a Sprite to be included into a PrintJob.
I have a requirement to print a bill from the AIR application.
Following are the constraints.
I need to print to a DotMatrix Printer. I have a complex layout with header, footer and a datagrid with data rolling out to more that one page. I need to have a template to which I will be passing my object.The suffice with the usage of Jasper reports, but I have no server side support.I tried the FlexReport, bentbit and other tools which is optimized for the DotMatrix printers.
Is there a alternative to get the above requirements done. Is there any alternative similar to that of jasper reports without going for a server.
