Flash :: Flash Not Printing Out In An HTML Page

[F8] Printing Html Page With Flash Elements In It
Hi there - we're using http://www.maani.us/charts/index.php
flash charting software to produce form results. But we're having problems with printing.

From what we have found, having a Print Friendly page with all the results charts top to toe (about 35+) on one page results in about 750mb of data being sent to the printer (not good). Apparently this is because of the flash file being converted to postscript or something?

As we do not have control over the fla to add a PrintJob() command or something, does anyone know of any other way of over coming this problem - ie
causing the printer to become overloaded?

thanks

Printing An Embedded .swf File In A .html Page
not sure which forum to ask this....so this question may appear in other forums as well.

I have a web page that I built in DreamWeaver using CSS. On this webpage I have a .swf file embedded in one of my <div> tags. When the user hits File>Print, I want only the .swf file to print and not the other areas (i.e. header, footer, nav bar etc.) of the webpage. The following website does exactly what I want.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve how to do this?

thanks!

Printing From Flash, All Or One Page
I am using this method to print frames from a swf.

I would like to adapt it so that each frame would have 2 buttons. 'print all pages' and 'print this page only'

Could anyone advise me how to go about that please?

Printing A Cfm Page From Flash
Has anyone had success printing a cfm page from flash. What I've done is create a program to edit a database by loading a cfc page and calling functions from flash. I then created a cfm page to display a report of the data, which is several pages long. (I tried using flash to create the reports to print, but printing functions in flash seem so limited). I can get the report to load by clicking a button just fine, but what I'd like to do is have the report print out without having to actually show the page. Anyone have any ideas?

Printing From Flash....center On Page?
i have a strange problem that i'm trying to work around....

i have a flash move, sized 800 x 612, that i'm printing from flash using the print() function. when i print this movie from the swf itself, everything is fine and the print is centered on the page.

however, when i print from my HTML page with the swf embedded, the print moves to the left, so i have about a .25" margin on the left, and a 1" margin on the right. the vertical alignment is fine.

i've tried using align="center" in my object and embed tags, to no avail. any ideas?

thanks in advance for any help!

Printing In Flash So You Fill An Entire Page
Is there a way to have a flash movie print so that the entire page is filled without any boarder?

I know about using #b and #p and that jazz but I can't seem to get my page to print to the full page. It always leaves space at the right hand edge? Not sure why but if anyone has the solution to this that would be great.

Thanks Jason

Naming Of HTML Entry Page & Flash Intro Page?
Hey Everyone. What is the best way to name the entry non-Flash (HTML) page - the splash or index page, whatever it's called - that is the gateway to the final Flash site, which will open in a new window? When users type in the basic web URL - for example, http://www.mysite.com - I want them to come upon an entry page that states "Click here for Flash Player 6" and "Enter if you have Flash Player 6". When the user types in the basic URL should I have the entry page called http://www.mysite.com/index.htm?

One step further... How do I configure things so that when the user comes to the entry page, Flash 6 is automatically detected on both Mac & PC platforms? Detailed answers will be much appreciated, as well as links to tutorials.

Anyway To Have A Small Html Page Embedded Into A Larger Flash Page?
I've developed a website completely in Flash. Now, I have a space in this Flash page where I would like to have, upon a certain button click, load up an HTML page...within the Flash page itself. So, I have the layout, and all the links and all that in the Flash website. In the content area of that Flash site, I want an html page to appear after clicking a certain button, thus turning the Flash into somewhat of a border. Is there any simple way to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Printing Problem From Flash In HTML
I would like to the user print at a confirmation page at the end of a tutorial built in flash. I created a button on the page that needs to be printed with the following :

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:print()", "", "POST");
}

1) This seems to work on my system, but when I bring it to the client (running the same version of IE), I get the printout of the frame with just the background, nothing else like text etc. Am I doing something wrong ?

2) Is this the most common way to print a SINGLE frame from flash running in HTML and will this method work in both IE and Netscape ?

Thanks !

Printing Html File From Flash
I am trying to print a html file that I have on my server from a btn in flash? I think there is a way to do it with javascript? Thanks guys!

Printing Html File From Flash
Hey everybody..

I am trying to print a html file that I have on my server from a btn in flash? I think there is a way to do it with javascript? Thanks guys

Printing HTML File From Flash
I am using this function for a button in my Flash menu that I want to print my entire HTML page.

this.print_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("javascript:window.print()");
};

After I pop in the code, I go to test the page on my Mac locally and I get this error.

"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.

The following local application on your computer or network:
I:......main.swf

is trying to communicate with the internet enabled location:

I:.....page.html
To let the application communicate click setting.
You must restart the application after changing your setting."

And on a Windows machine, nothing even happens.

Obviously I think its not working because I am testing it locally, because the minute I upload it to my server, it works. The only problem is, I need it to work locally because it is going to be viewed from a CD not through the net.

Is there another way for my Flash Button to print the entire HTML page?

I really appreciate any help someone can offer. I am at the final stages of this project.

Ugly Transition From Flash Page To Html Page
Hi-

I made a flash movie with soundtrack as an intro for my client. At the end of the movie I put a frame action to get URL and automatically jump to the main page of the site. The background color for the site is black, but in between the intro flash page and the main nav page, white flashes for a split second. You can see the work in progress at www.musicbymelinda.com/melindasite/.

She loves the movie, hates the jarring white flash. I tried lengthening the movie, it didn't help ... she does not want to make her viewers click on a button to enter site.

Any suggestions how to make a smooth transition? thanks. -knox

Flash Splash Page Redirect To Html Page
I am very new to flash and please forgive my lack of knowledge.

So here is my question... How do I get this splash page to redirect to this HTML page as soon as the flash movie stops?

Also any preloader guidance or reading material would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea where to begin with the preloader.

Thanks in advance -

Printing From Flash Sites - Should I Change To Html?
Hi all

I'm doing a site for a model:

http://www.laurenelise.designreel.com

under construction at the mo

in the portfolio section with the images I need it so that the images can be seen bigger and also printed straight from the site.

Having thought about this I think I should place each pic in a HTML page and then link it externally so the user can click file print.

would this be the best way to go about it?

Getting Flash To Load HTML Pages Into Iframes In A Seperate HTML Page
Hi everybody

Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm currently running an animation within a webpage, and my client would like to be able to have some captions in HTML on the page that go with specific parts of the animation.

He wants the captions done in seperate HTML pages so that they can be changed into different languages at a later date.

I am loading these captions (HTML pages) into <iframes> on the page.

So far so good..... however...

I need to be able to get flash to load the HTML pages into the <iframes>, in certain points within the animation.

So... Does anybody know how to get Flash to load HTML pages into a seperate HTML page?

I'm guessing getURL is used somewhere, but I don't know the exact code.

Hope you can help!

Passing HTML Form And Hidden Variables From Flash To Html Page
Hi,

I have a html/flash site now, http://www.zachariack.com.

i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire
<form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window.

now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

<form name="form1" action="http://www.accudatanet.com/mail/msglist.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name=sid value="E9697301F704A0CE947DEF42CF86636A">
<input type=text size=15 name=f_user value="">
<input type=hidden name=six value=0>
<input type=password size=15 name="f_pass">
<input type=submit name=submit value="Login >>" class="button">
</form>

how do i implement the above using action scripting. thanks.

regards,
vasant

Put SWF Into HTML Page But How To Also Add Flash Mp3 Player Into Same Page?
For my web-site, each seperate HTML page in dreamweaver mx2004 has a different flash SWF attached to it, but all these flash SWF scenes all have the same background in them for consistency.

The problem is my showreel page, I created a flash SWF ready for dreamweaver, but I also want to incorporate a flash mp3 player I have into the same HTML page!

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks Jim

Turn Flash Page Into An Html Page?
Hi all,

So here's my dilemma. Got this job to put together a site for a financial company with a friend of mine. We're both more into illustration more than anything else and have basic/ intermediate knowledge of flash but know very little about html..

Here is the dummy - http://uzugexe.com/tiel.html

This company really wants some flash design and were very specific with what kind of animations they want on the page. Thing is though, they're now saying that ranking in a search engine is essential. So we've tried to persuade them to ditch the flash idea completely and have an html only site...but because they really loved what we'd come up with (i personally think it's too much!) they asked if we could try and combine the two....

Any ideas on how we could use the animation as it is as a kind of intro but then have it turn into an html page automatically - without seeing too much difference when it changes? Is it possible to have the html 'under' the flash movie, then have the flash movie fade away and 'unload' to reveal the html page?

Hope this makes some kind of sense!

Any suggestions much appreciated

How To Load Either Flash Page Or Html Page?
Hi,
I am new to Flash. I have a webpage made in Flash, a page made in regular html. I want the user to be automatically directed to the html version if they don't have Flash 8 installed.
I checked out SWFObject but im really confused of what to do. This has been done so many times, there must be an "easy" way to do it. It is javascript code, right? Where do i add the extra code?
Any help would be great!
Thanks,

HTML Code In Flash To Load An HTML Page In A Frame
Hello.

I have an existing website built in html, with three frames. One on the top for the banner, one on the left for navigation, and a larger window to the right of the navigation for the main content. I want to replace the content in my navgation frame with a flash built navgation menu, and when my menu items are selected, it will load a new page in the content frame.

I currently have this working fine in html. I can make my buttons link to a URL no problem in flash, but how do I tell it to load the content into the other frame? I haven't started this process yet, and figured I'd ask first to get any ideas.

Thanks.

I appreciate your help!

Printing A Page
Hi hi..

I kinda did a questionnaire page and i need to be able to print the results of the questionnaire. So far i assigned the actionscript for the printing on the button as follows;

on (release) {
if ($version != "") {
printAsBitmap("paper", "bmovie");
}
}

The problem is that i got 32 frames in this flash file, but i just want to print the results page. I placed the results on frame 14, so each time the results have to be printed, it is necessary to change the focus of printing just to page 14. Is it possible for me to default the printing to print just page 14?

Normally wat happens is that the print pop-up wud try to print all the available frames in the flash file.

Can anybody help me out on this? I'm just an average flash actionscript guy.

thank u.

Will Swf Loaded Into One Html Page Be Cached For Another Html Page
Trying to decide how best to structure a flash website and would like to know if loaded swf elements are cached.

Basically I was going to structure the site into 5 separate sections each a separate flash file on a separate html page.

i.e

Homepage.html (this holds homepage.swf)
Services.html (this holds services.swf)
Portfolio.html (this holds portfolio.swf)
ComingSoon.html (this holds comingsoon.swf)
Contact.html (this holds contact.swf)

Each of these main flash files will share certain elements such as the navigation buttons, the main interface etc.

My question is, once a shared swf element has been loaded into homepage.html, is this shared element then in the browsers cache and does not require to be downloaded again when the user navigates to say services.html?

The main reason I am structuring it this way is to allow bookmarking of each of the main sections and also to keep the initial download file size down rather than have to download all 5 sections as one movie.

Thanks

Paul

Printing The Whole Page (wysisyp)
what you see is what you print :-)

i dont want to specify a frame (i cant, because the user should be able to print everywhere) or a MC, i want the whole screen to print as it can be seen on the monitor. is that possible??

i cant say print _root either, because i load the images with loadMovie from an external swf, so i have _level1 as well.

any hints?

Printing Single Page
I need to create a print button that prints only the current frame. I'm using printAsBitmap at the moment which is fine except you have to select the exact page number or it prints the whole movie (and obviously someone viewing the movie isn't going to know what the exact frame number needed is). I suspect I might need to use the printjob.addpage command but don't really understand how this works. Can anyone spell it out in simple terms for me (or better still show me the actual actionscript needed).

Printing Layered Web Page
Hi all,

I have created a Web page using layers. The top most layer contains a Flash movie that takes up the entire width and height of the page. I have set the wmode to transparent and have content in lower layers that shows through the Flash movie.

The problem happens when I try to print the html page using the IE print. It prints out only the Flash content and nothing is shown behind it.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thanks.

Multiple Page Printing.....
please help me...

MY problem is:

I need to print multiple pages using Macromedia Flash .
Text is taken from xml and put in to textbox which is rendered as html.
After placing text, I tried counting lines using char 13. But its not
working .So i tried using maxscroll and bottomscroll property to print.

There are 18 xmls which is of different format.
As different xml is of different format, i am not able to get a static
value to rectify this.
Problem is sometimes duplication happens, othertimes some lines
completely not seen.

please note that text(running text) are very long that may come up to 10 pages...
This is not like printing diffrent frames...
So i need help to make this work.

Printing Multiple _levels On 1 Page
I can't use the browser window to accomplish this since this will be a self-contained projector so window.print(); is out the window. I've tried this:

printAsBitmap("_level0", "bmovie");
printAsBitmap("_level1", "bmovie");

but it brings up multiple printer task windows. Is there a way to tell the printer to print the whole projector displayed in one swoop? I have found no documentation on this. You would think this would be a core function but only found how to print specific frames & movies. Kudos to you if you have the answer.

Thanks,
Rob

Flash Nav In HTML Page
hey gang...

this should be an easy one:

does anyone have an example of a flash navigation that works with an HTML site, that defaults to the current page the user is on.

basically a 1 level breadcrumb trail that always shows the user what page they are on -- if they roll over the other nav elements, the nav would allow them to, but then return to the current state.

so far, ive gotten the nav to read in the variable from the URL (query string), but i cant seem to get it to reset once the user have moused over a few times...

i was trying clip event...no dice.... any suggestions?
