I'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:
How 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.

I try to print all frames of a movieClip where each frame is a unique page. My movieClip have 3 different frames. The result is that I have 3 pages, but it's printing only the first one. I tried to call
myPrintJob.addPage(clipAImprimer, null, null,1); and
myPrintJob.addPage(clipAImprimer, null, null,2);
to make a test and it's the same result. I confirm that my clip has 3 different frames. I tried too label #p each frame but it's not effective for PrintJob. I have Flash CS4 and I can't use Flex, Air and Catalyst.
how do I get the printjob to print as many pages as my movieclip needs? If I have this code:

I am not able to print more than 5 pages in one go. I want to print almost 12 pages in one print job.

Following up from: http:[url]...I am trying to comeup with a function to print without creating a sprite, because that's what it seems to be causing my problem:

This is coming up with an: Error: Description Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Bitmap to an unrelated type flash.display:Sprite. So how do you print a bitmap without creating a Sprite?
I'm printing from flex, and since I want to customise the jobs such as with margins and a title, I created a UI Component PrintTemplate. I add my stuff to the PrintTemplate and then I print it.So the code is something like:
printTemplate.addElement(diagram);
addElement(printTemplate);
if (printJob.start()) {

//I can get the right margins by defining a rectangle and giving it the following dimensions:
var rect1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 792,612);
//When the print button is pressed the following code executes using the dimensions defined by rect1:
prntCover_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printCover);
function printCover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
front_mc.visible = false;

This is not working to place the mc correctly on the page. This is all the Adobe help provides. Also Googled and tried different variations but no success.
I am making a flip book in flash. I am using swf files as individual pages. User have the option to print pages. I am converting the swf into a btimap using bitmap data but when I print the test is not clear and all pixelated. Is there any way to improve the printing quality of pages?
View 8 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.

There is a wide known issue with printing of Flash content in Firefox and Chrome browsers.So,one solution was created by "AnyCharts".But it seems not to work.I also tried to implement the latest version of the component that is now hosted and Google Code.I did exactly as the manual prescribes but it still doesn't work.AnyChart guys say on their blog page that something should be done with CSS as well ,but as you can see from the manual at Flash-Print-Fix home page ,there is no mention about CSS setup.

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:
on (release) {
printnum(1,"bframe");
}
my problem is that I don't understand/care why anyone would want to print out a flash site in the first place... so it is impeding my ability to find the answer to this problem. all i want to do is be able to let my client print their website out. the whole thing, page by freaking "page" (or in this case content area). The problem is that it's dynamic, has between 4 and 6 levels per content area, dynamically loading html text (css formatted) with jpgs in <img> tags.
The clients are using Firefox on Mac and report that blank pages print out when they use the print function of Firefox. When I print from Firefox on my PC it looks great. In fact - much better than IE because it doesn't squash the site to fit it on the page. I can't use the Print in the context menu because 1. it only prints the bottom level vectors, 2. can't guarantee the Mac people have right-click I have read up on print(), printjob(), printasBitmap() and they all target levels or mc's. is there a way for this to happen? is there a way to push a screen capture into the clipboard and print that? actionscript?

View 1 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 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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.
