View 2 RepliesI wondered if its possible to make a button, that prints a .jpg from the server. If it is possible that what script should be added to the button?
View 2 RepliesI'm building a stand alone presentation application (.exe) in Flash CS4, and want to add a print button which prints current frame. Tried to find about that everywhere on internet, but didn't quite found what I need. So when someone clicks the button, I wish to save that image in original size as bitmap or jpeg image. How can I do that?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

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'm trying to print different frames of my movie, which are located in different scenes. I've put a frame label named #p on every frame that I want to get printed when the user presses a button. Code for this button is:
[Code]....
This actually works fine, the specific frame gets printed OK but all of my other frames labeled #p are printed too! And part of my dynamic loaded data (information of tables, texts, etc.) cannot be seen anymore after printing! It seems as if all dynamic information gets lost. Is there any way of printing just the frame I'm asking for and not all of them? What about the "duplicate label" warning? Is it OK to ignore it?
I am building a very basic report writer for an AIR application that I am developing. I am using the Flash PrintJob class to output the contents of my report (in which pages are stored as Canvas objects in a ViewStack object).The problem is, only the content that I see in the report preview screen gets printed.Is there a way that I can print what the Canvas object contains not just what is visible? Here is a code snippet that I am using:
protected function doPrintReport(event:Event):void
{
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

I've been making flash based websites recently with a simple PHP and MySQL backed CMS. The only problem I'm getting is when the text is loading from the database into the dynamic textfield in the flash movie, it prints either 'false' or '_level0...' The text does eventually load correctly, any way I can get it to print LOADING instead of these two or something similar?
View 2 RepliesI have a problem about input text fields. I have an application that uses input text field and users can write and print. The problem is sometimes the input text fields backgrounds prints grey instead of white. In my actionscript code I have the properties to config background and stuff and even so the grey boxes always appear.
View 5 RepliesI've got an application which gives the viewer the capability to create a design then further customize it with their own art, i.e. a logo, which can be a .jpg, .gif or .png. I may narrow the file options down, but right now I'm finding when one prints this design (I have a "print" button as well) any transparent .png file that's in this design prints out with a white "box" that is obviously the canvas on which said .png was designed.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a class in AS 3.0 to read in a xml file to create content for a quiz. Once I instantiate the xml obj and pass in a string that determines the xml name in the constructor for the xml class I read in the xml and populate some arrays. Evidently in AS 3.0 you have listeners for reading in xml, which is the problem I am having. Once the object is instantiated I try to call on a method called getArray, but the XML hasnt finished being read in and I get a compile error. Error below: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at xmlReader_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

View 4 RepliesBut this is only for 1 movieclip. And I need the entire stage and everything of whats in it (except for the layer with the background image) to be moved this way. But how?Also want the scroll to be restricted to a max y-position of 860px even if the entire stage goes as far as a height of 1508px.
View 7 RepliesI am loading a fairly large image file and want to create a bitmap of the loader content. I want to then use this Bitmap and resize it according to the current dimension of the stage. However, I also want to keep the loader content as "originally loaded" as a reference in case the stage is resized and the user wants to view this particular image again. The way my AS is written as of now, I am manipulating the loader content. How do I not do this? How do I "copy" the loader content so I can manipulate the bitmap copy while leaving the loader content unaltered?
<AS>
var lightboxImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
function resizeLightbox():void{
lightboxImage = myLoader.content;
lightboxImage.width = myLoader.content.width;
lightboxImage.height = myLoader.content.height;

View 1 RepliesI've been testing what you can do with loaded content lately and I'm trying to use the 'new' keyword to create new instances of a loaded swf. For example...

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.
What is the best way to create buttons to give content a scrolling function.The functionality is provided by ScrollPane, where content, images etc. can be used and scrolled but aesthetically buttons are preferred.There is actionscript for creating scrollable text fields with buttons, but it requires constant clicking and only applies to text. Just mentioning this if there is something similar to attain the functionality of ScrollPane for content.

View 1 RepliesI need to create a static frame and a changing content... currently envisaged as frame containing the side panel and header and footer content.
The content panel will call mxml based on the content sought.
a) how is the frame paradigm- with static frame "containing" other content done. I dont want to repeat the header and footer logic in every 'content section' code?
b) how is the hyperlinking between content sections done- using 'states' seems convoluted
For example, If I have a SWF that loads XML and images, and displays them, is there some kind of 3rd-party tool that will take this SWF and re-render it as if all the text and images were embedded and not external? So I could just use the same SWF without it relying on image and xml data files?
