ActionScript 3.0 :: Programmatically Change The Printer Paper Size?
Jun 16, 2010
I'm trying to programmatically print a movie clip to 8.5" x 11" plain paper regardless of the current paper size setting in the printer. e.g if the user's printer is currently set to use paper size A4, can I change the setting to Letter (8.5" x 11") from ActionScript at runtime? I use PrintJob class for printing the movieclip. According to the ActionScript online API spec [URL], I can only READ the paper size setting after the call to PrintJob.start. I can't believe that we are not allowed to change the setting.

I'm trying to print a movieclip from flash. I'm using the PrintJob pageWidth and pageHeight properties to scale the clip to be as large as possible. Also, I'm trying to center the movieclip on the page.Now, in the standalone player, this works. In a browser however, the margins appear to be zero:[code]But when printing, the margins are there, and mess up the page layout (not centered + cropping).

I can change the color of the label in Flex Builder, I can even BIND the color to a variable and that works, but I can't find the Color PROPERTY in order to change or reference it programatically! What is the ActionScript 3.0 code to change the font or color of a piece of text in a Flex RIA - or is caring in what color your text appears too bizzarre a request for a RIA? I wrote whole applications after just minutes of "learning" flex, how come it's taken me three days and I still can't change the color of my stupid label?

I am using Flash CS5 as an AS2 and player 7 SWF output.I have a interface that needs to change to another language while the system still matches the users locale.The STRING panel has a "Stage language' combobox that allow me to change this during development.I have a 30 plus languages that are going to be using a series of Flash templates I am making for non-programming movie developers.I am setting it up to use internal language selector and hiding that in other uses and have external language selection change the language (Director, Authorware, other programs).(I will one day go to AS3 when I automate the development process for them)

How do you say or achieve container.child.source = image.png?
I have a hexagon map built by specifying width and height. I draw a wireframe and place a base image for each hex into a canvas. Next, the canvas listens for a mouse click. I then run a calculation to determine which hex the mouse click was closest to. My intent is to change the source of the image that the user clicked on.
I know that mapSlate.getChildByName(mapProperties[closestHex]['baseName']) is the intended hex but I can't quite get to the point of doing a .source as Flex doesn't know that the selected object is an image.

I have a comboBox component with a CHANGE event listener on it:
dd_chapter.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeFunction);
function changeFunction(event:Event):void {
trace("changed!");
}
I want to trigger that event programmatically when the comboBox first gets loaded with data. In AS 2, the syntax would be something like "dd_chapter.onChange();". How do I do it in AS 3?

I've been building an AIR application in AS3 which includes a number of drawing tools, allowing the user to annotate a page with freehand drawings, lines, text etc. I'm almost done and everything tests well on my dev computer but testing on an old XP machine crashed every time I tried to print. Eventually I realised this was due to a mass of data being sent to the printer which that poor old XP machine just couldn't handle. All I'm doing is creating a new printJob with printAsBitmap set to true, and using addPage to add the MC I want to print.
When I look at the windows print jobs dialog I see it's sending 1.68Gb of data to the print spooler! I figured that there must be too much in the MC so I create a bitmapData of the same size and copy it to a bitmap, then add that to a blank MC and send that to the printer - same problem! The MC is 2480x3508 which equates to 300dpi on A4 paper. By my calculations that should be a bitmap of around 33Mb, so where is all the other data coming from.
Here's my PHP Code:
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
var options:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
options.printAsBitmap = true;
var thisRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 2480, 3508);
myPrintJob.addPage(printTemplate, thisRect, options);
PrintTemplate is a simple MC containing a single bitmap. Both the bitmap and the printTemplate object are 2480x3508 pixels.

Ok, this is a function that used to work...so I didn't check it for a while...and I did not edit it from when it was working in any way...but now the print function does not produce a page from the printer...when I click "Print View" the print dialog box comes up, and I can choose my printer, and when I click ok, there is a tooltip near the windows clock that says document sent to printer, but the printer never does anything...I have tested this in several printers and several computers...I have also tried to output to a pdf...and it allows me to choose a file name to save to but it never creates the file...
print button code:
Code:
printButton.onRelease = function()
{
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

I'm wondering whether it's possible to change the size of a flash application at runtime?
I know I can scale the SWF with HTML/JavaScript, but I'm not talking about scaling here. I want to change the actual size, not just enlarge it visually. Let's say my SWF is 400x300 pixels. At runtime, I want to change it to 500x400. All the elements inside the SWF (buttons or whatever) should remain the same size. It's the Stage itself that should change.

I need direct-to-printer functionality for my website, with the ability to distinguish a physical printer from a virtual printer (file).has this functionality via a native binary which must be installed by the user. I'd prefer to avoid thatI dug through that Java APIs a bit, and don't see anything that would let you determine physical vs virtual, except looking at the name (that seems prone to misidentification). It would be nice to be able to do it in Java, because I already know how to write Java applets. Failing that, is there a way to do this in Flash or Silverlight?

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?

I was wondering if it would be possible to use copyPixel to create a simple text printer for example you have a font as an image like this
[URL] then have some code that will transform your text ="hello world" into HELLO WORLD on your flash screen, but written in that font.
Because the font is spaced equally you could have the source x and y, times by 16pixels for each letter and move the Y source down 16 pixels when it reaches the right side of the image
