Re: Trouble Printing a specific frame from an off stage movie clip by DaveR on Apr 2, 2005 at 5:08:38 am
I have had success with this:
The movie clip that I wish to print named "bmovie" is on the stage out of view.
This action is pasted on a button I called "directions".
on (release) {
print("directions", "bmovie");
}
I have tried different approaches but this one worked for me.
If this does not help, post or send your fla file for me to take a look.
Good Luck

If you are exporting to Flash 7 then you should use the PrintJob class which gives you much more functionality and control over printing. You can check out the documentation on it here.

Yeah the only downfall is that only people with Flash 7 will be able to take advantage of it. But I think 7 is pretty widespread by now for most things.

I am still having trouble printing the Movie Clips. I have a movie clip names "document_1_mc" on the stage and the button has the following actionscript attached to it.
on (release) {
print("document_1_mc", "bmovie");
}
All this does is print frame 1 of my entire swf. It doesn't print frame 1 of the movie clip "document_1_mc" that is located off stage on the file. I'm not really sure why this is happening, but I'm getting really frustrated with it. If anyone can take a look at it and let me know I would really appreciate it.

Dave,
Sorry to bother you, but I didn't find a link in your post. If you could re-post with the link to the tutorial that you used to print that would be great.
