FlashPaper 2 - Printing Issue


I did a search and it looked like the majority of FlashPaper threads were in this forum..I apologize if this topic is in the wrong spot.

I am retro-fitting a clients flash cd to include some formatted printable documents and I wanted to use FlashPaper2 instead of PDF's. Launching PDF's via getUrl from flash was locking up end users machines, so I figured FlashPaper2 was a natural solution.....Wrong!

When a FlashPaper2 document is loaded via loadMovie and then printed, it results in a highly annoying black bar at the bottom of each page. At least on XP Pro. Please try the following and tell me if you get the same results that I did and let me know what operating system you have.

tutorial files

1. Download the tutorial files using the above link. The files are at the bottom of the page.
2. Open the FlashPaperDemo.fla
3. Click on frame 1 and open the actions panel
4. Inside the onLoaded(fp) function change the following


ActionScript Code:
fp.showUIElement("Print", false);

to


ActionScript Code:
fp.showUIElement("Print", true);


That will enable the print button

5. Publish the movie and test it out (It's a huge document and you should save yourself some paper and only have it print 1 page when your system printer dialogue box comes up..I used page #3)

6. When I print this page out, I get that annoying black bar at the bottom of the page.

Is anybody else getting the same results? I've tried just every workaround I can think of and the results are always the same.

Thanks for your help

Flashpaper 2 And Printing
How is flashpaper in Flash & Director? I've got a bunch of .doc files and loading them into a flash interface would be great but I need to be able to do a few other things.

1. Print them and not have formatting changes. The files are not complex, just bold, italic & underline are used...
2. Have another button which would open the .doc in word. This I can do with Director and BuddyAPI but it'd much better if you can do this with flash only (give or take using Zinc v2.5...)

Thanks for any info/advice,

navpak.

AS2, Flashpaper Font Issue
Hi

Another question! I'm using flashpaper and when loading in a flashpaper swf through either loadMovie or the flashpaper component the toolbar text just dissappears (so you cant see what your typing into the search box, or what zoom % your at etc), has anyone else had this issue before?

I'm really stumped :/

Loading External Flashpaper Swf Issue :(
Hi,
My main application (main.swf) is on LOCAL MACHINE. I'm loading some
flashpaper swfs into it using mc.loadMovie() from a site
(http://ssss/sss/ss/aa.swf)
But that swf is not getting loaded into my movie which is on local machine,
instead, my movie crashes. (player gives the error message 'script is
causing player to run slowly.....') As far as I know, it can not be a cross
domain issue since my main movie is on local macine.
What could be the problem?
TIA

Please Help With Printing Issue
I posted this message on the neewbie forum with no luck.
Thxs,
Fly

--------

Hope u can help me with some problems that I have. I'm trying to create some action button printing but I'm having trouble.

a) I want to print more than 1 frame on the same timeline, but when I try to label more than 1 frame #p, and export it warns that there is duplicate labelling. Any suggestions?

b) I want to have buttons which prints separate frame sequences. How can I label the frames so that each button prints a specific frame.

c) targeting a movie inside the main timeline will print the movie frame only. Is that possible to print some items of the main timeline in the same printing window?

Thanks,

Fly

Please help.

Printing Issue
I'm attempting to print multiple pages of dynamic data in Flash MX via a technique that I saw posted here.

All of the pages I need printed are contained in a single movie clip, an instance of which is on stage alongside a print button. The button script attempts to print via:

print ("myclip", "bframe");

The problem is, when the button is pressed it prints from the main timeline rather than the specified clip. I'm beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why. Any suggestions?

Printing Issue.......
Hi,
I really stuck up with dis problem and need urgent soln...........

Currently i have a printing script that works in the following manner:

For printing i create multiple movie clips based on the data i get in the xml file.
Then i add all these movieclips to one main movie clip and then send the parent movieclip via print job class object to the spooler.....

This works fine if the volume of data is small(i.e. 25-30 pages) but gives me a scripting error(plz see attachment for the exact error) if there is bulk data.

Ive tried reading the xml data in chunks(i.e. data for 10 pages) and sending the same to the spooler, but this throws multiple print dialog boxes.
eg: for 100 pages it throws me the print dialog box 10 times.......
Its here that im stuck up!!!!!
I need to suppress the print dialog box so that it shows up only once!!!

Any other work-around other than the one that im currently trying is most welcome!!!


Thanks
Snehal

Dear forum members,

I'm having real difficulties with my print jobs as when it's printed it appears very small on the paper (stage set to 500x500). Is there any way I can enlarge the movie once printed to cover the whole page?

Bizarre Printing Issue
Hey Group

I have a weird problem with my flash project. I have a btn which when pressed, prints a MC. Just your basic

On (release) {
print(_parent.mcName, "bmovie");
}

When I test it, it works fine. Absolutely fine. A page comes out with txt and graphic from the MC. Here comes the weird part…

When I upload the Flash project onto a web page, when the button is pressed, it still does trigger Flash to print the MC but only nothing prints!! A page gets fed through the printer but nothing is printed on it! I’ve tried this on different machines it’s the same everywhere. When you test it on the (local) hardisk you get a printout with txt and graphic. When you upload it (remote) and press print, all you get is a blank page. Whats happening?

Helpppppppppp please

Printing Issue. Help Required.
Hi folks,

Hopefully someone will be so kind as to offer a solution to this issue:

I have a print function which prints a movie clip when a button is clicked. The print out looks fine when printed from either Test Movie or the standalone player. The print is perfectly centered on the printout.

When the flash is embeded in an html page and displayed through a browser the print out will not centre on the page. It prints at the correct size and looks good apart from being very off centre.

Has anyone come across this and could you suggest a solution?

I'd be most grateful.

Thanks

The Devil's In The Details - Flash Printing Issue...
Hey all, I have returned again to the mighty and compassionate beings of the Flash Kit Forums... Please help a humble flash-flunky like me...

I have pretty much completed a flash application that has caused me to run to you guys quite a few times now - it is up at http://www.bournebathrooms.com.au/ba...athplanner.php.

Then the client wants to print only the actual blueprint and not all the documentation, lists, instructions, etc. That was easy enough by printing only a specific frame, that had only the elements they required.

Now, they want the blueprint to fill the page when it prints. I can easily enlarge the background, but changing the size of each item in a single frame is crazy! The real clincher though is the actual box - which was created using the line, lineTo, etc. tool and is what had me running to this board all the time in the first place!

I guess that my question is - is there any sort of not-labour-intensive way to make everything bigger, or alternatively, could I pay someone to smuggle me out of the country...?

Need An Explicit Printing Tutorial For Flash 5 Or An Expert On Printing...
Been trying to print for a couple of hours now.
It seems to work fine when I use simple objet on the main timeline, but I get weird result when trying to print nested object.

For example, it got a movie clip containing multiple duplicate mc, and a dynamic text field. This movie clip is out of the movie stage.

When I try to print it it using:

printAsBitmap(this.effective.printArea, "bMovie");

nothing get printed.

so I move the movie on the stage.

this.effective._x = 0;
this.effective._y = 0;
printAsBitmap(this.effective.printArea, "bMovie");

the frame gets printed, but the text is out of phase even if it looks fine on the screen.

I have define the label of the frame I want to print with #p and the printing area with #b.

Why can I print my movie if it's off the stage, and why does the dynamic text field is printed out of phase when I tried to print ?

----------------------------------

At least can someone direct me to a good flash 5 tutorial on printing...

Flashpaper
hi, i am trying to link a button in my fullscreen flashMX-movie to an external FlashPaper doc (to make it appear separately).

I've been trying to do so with 'getURL' (towards doc.swf), but it doesn't load in the browser that appears, and when i do so with 'LoadMovie' the flashpaper doc opens fullscreen but without a browser or possibility to close it (using alt + F4 closes both the flashpaper and the movie).

Anyone has an idea if there a solution with AS?

Hi everybody,

I am looking for the best option to deliver word docs and PDFs that can be opened from a Flash projector.

Flashpaper Is Gone, Now What
I taught myself enough AS2.0 to configure flashpaper within my flash portfolio. I have a bunch of blueprints of site plans, elevations, maps, etc. that I like to keep at full size (24"x36",30"x42", 36"x48", etc.) and it worked great with Flashpaper until I bought a new computer with Vista. Grrrr..

I have tried Print2Flash (I don't think they print larger than 24"x36" and even then the resolution is srewed up). I have also used Scribd (all of these large PDF files keep crashing). Are there any other special browsers for these large PDFs? I would like to embed the browser into my flash page, but I also want to control the size and dimensions of the browser within the page. I have seen one or two websites that now have Acrobat Reader 9? resized within the main website window.

Any ideas? Thanks-

FlashPaper API Within A Mc
I'm working on something that should be simple, but it's not. I am working on an e-learning simulation. I am adding a function that will allow the user to pull up the product manual (a pdf converted to a swf by FlashPaper) within a mc. I want the user to be able to drag the mc containing the FlashPaper API anywhere on the screen.

However, when I set this up, using startDrag and stopDrag for the mc, I can't get the focus back to the FlashPaper API to use some of the controls on its toolbar (i.e. Zoom, etc.).

Help!

Thanks in advance,

Flashpaper Api
I'm loading a flashpaper file into another flash movie I have going. I found info on the Macromedia site about how to turn off and on all the individual API functions except 1.

I want to turn off the link to the Macromedia Flashpaper site on the upper left side of the toolbar, but somehow that function isn't listed out by individually, seems to only go away if you turn off the whole standard API and write your own controller. Very annoying... Anyone know what that controller or button is called so I can turn it off?

FlashPaper Q
I'm trying out this MM Flashpaper thing. However, when I try to load the swf into a movieClip, the swf file chooses its own size-does not resize to the size of the mc.




ActionScript Code:

Is there a way to force the loaded .swf to have certain dimensions in the movie clip?

Flash Printing - Trouble Printing Bitmap
Hello,

I have a Flash MX (not 2004) project that generates dynamic printable coupons. Here's the lowdown of what happens:

1. The flash coupon is loaded - dynamically loads in text and an external jpeg. This data is displayed in one frame that the user sees on the screen, and in another frame that the user never sees but is sent to the printer.
2. User presses print.
3. The flash movie sends the 'print this' frame to the printer, and voila! Printed coupon!

Here's a sample link: http://givingcorps.com/gc_central/br...&CoId=2&ChId=4

All works well, but when it comes time to print the coupon, everything prints but the jpeg. In fact, after you hit the 'print' button and the print dialogue box comes up, and you begin to print, you can actually see the jpeg vanish from the flash movie, only to return when print dialog box is finished!

I've tried a variety of tests - printing just the current frame, incorporating a test to make sure the image is loaded before allowing printing, and trying all the different print functions. I'm aware that print() only prints vector while printAsBitmap() will print everything, although with less quality, and I'm currently using printAsBitmap().

Has anybody run into this? Is there any solution or anything I'm overlooking?

Thanks for your help.

Flashpaper Vs. LoadMovie()
so i only today learned about Flashpaper (since it is mentioned only in references to Contribute & otherwise hidden from Flash MX/04 users). It sounds like it has the potential to alleviate all the headaches of using Director & PDF Xtras by sticking to a 100% flash setup for web & CDROM interfaces.

However, my document gets completely mangled when loaded into a movieclip via loadMovie(), and seems to work only when using loadMovieNum to load into a level. Unfortunately that method causes it to completely fill the entire stage, leaving no room for navigation or anything.

Anyone know of any workarounds? I've also tried the MX '04 import PDF function with pathetic results (my 12pg PDF came in as one huge stack of things in the Library & only displayed one keyframe on the timeline which only contained Pg1.

It seems like there must be some simple means of viewing documents as swf's in flash (without building them completely by hand!).

Thanks!

Fonts And Flashpaper
Hi. I'm trying to export some complex SWF's to PDF's using flash paper. Basically my main movie loads some movies as font libraries and some text is pulled from dynamic sources for output. The text is editable in the SWF, and I can export them to PDF's , but I would like to be able to edit the text in Illustrator/acrobat once I export it. Has anyone worked with flash paper enough to know if this is possible?

Flashpaper, Portrait Only?
Hey Gang!

I have several pdfs that have been converter to swf with flashpaper, problem is that some of the pdfs are not 8.5 x 11, some are odd sizes, some are landscape. After conversion the swfs come out with inconsistent results, landscape and long "panel" layouts are cropped and/or some landscape layouts get rotated vertically.

Is there a restriction on the output of fp, meaning that only pdfs in a portrait layout will come out correctly?

Thanks in advance...

[F8] Questions With Flashpaper
Howdy,

I tried posting before, but I am not sure if it went through on this thread. Anyway, this is my first post on this forum and I have a few questions regarding Flashpaper 2.0. I am not a web developer. I work as a land use planner and am creating an autorun CD with a portfolio of my work. I will be using flash with work samples opening up using .swf files with Flashpaper.
Okay, here are my questions:

1. Can I resize the flashpaper screen? I don't want to use 550x400 pixel screens. I don't know a thing about action script and can't make sense out of this programming language (do I even need to bother with action script or are there any plugins, freeware, that might be able to help me with this?).

2. How can I get flashpaper .swf files to open in a new window?

3. If I can't get them to open in a new window, I want the person to be able to click on the button with the title of the project and then have the flash file appear. When they want to see another project, they can click on that button and have the one .swf file be switched for a different file. How do I do this? Do all of the .swf files have to be off the stage or on separate layers?

4. I have a bunch of graphics (24"x36", 30"x42" blueprints and so on). Flashpaper is pretty difficult to configure, and I am thinking about just going back to Acrobat. Should I give up with Flashpaper and try something else? I heard some stuff about swish today.

And from what I understand, I have to create the flashpaper documents page by page, load them into a flipbook "wrapper" swf and then play through it.

Am I on the right track? Or does anyone else know any other details or has experience on this.

FlashPaper And Flash
Hi,

I have a number of uses for FlashPaper: it is great for embedding pages of word processor type documents within Flash without having to worry about scrolling and printing.

The time to assemble the text from other applications is fast.

However...

It appears that to use a FlashPaper swf file in a Flash project it has to be loaded dynamically using createEmptyMovieClip() and loadMovie(). It cannot be imported to the library.

No problem except when it comes to sizing the movieclip.

I have been using a preloader type arrangement to wait for the FlashPaper swf to fully load and then I setup a task using setInterval() to make sure the the API call setSize(width, height) returns a true.

According to the macromedia documentation this looks to be how it should be done.

This works but not all the time; sometimes a setSize() just refuses to take. A false is returned even when the FlashPaper swf file is obviously up, loaded and staring you in the face.

If anyone has some more information on using FlashPaper type swf files in Flash or any idea as to why I am having these problems I would be very happy to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
K.

PS.
I am using the latest updated Flash MX 2004 Pro and the latest updated Contribute 2.x FlashPaper.

DPF To FlashPaper Swf Back To FLA?
Creating a CD-based projector file. Links to PDFs with large thumbnails of the PDFs in the rollovers on the buttons. Initially, I just created a thumbnail graphic, but when viewed full screen, the boss thought it looked nasty. SO...I imported the PDF into Illustrator, exported as swf and imported that into my FLA as the thumbnail. Worked great. All vector text. Now, I have 50 more to do and am running into problems. Seems if the original source file that created the PDF has any clipping paths/compound paths, etc. they don't convert properly.

Long story short (too late), I tried using FlashPaper to convert the PDFs to SWF. The initial conversion works fine, no problems with the compound paths or clipping masks. However, when I import that newly created SWF back into my project to use as a thumbnail, all I get is a gray box with the FlashPaper icon. What gives? Why can't I see it, manipulate it, scale it, etc.?? Is there some conversion step I'm missing or are there simply usage restrictions on FlashPaper SWFs that I can't get around?

Also, whenever I import an SWF (whether from Illustrator or elsewhere) it brings along with it numerous other files into my library. One swf had about 1000 additional files which clog up the library panel. UGH!

I just need nice vector thumbnails of my PDFs in my presentation and the least painful method to accomplish this.

HELP!!

Macromedia has posted this info:

But, I used:

Problems With Flashpaper
hi,
so i have a loader that loads .swf documents created with flashpaper 2. has anyone else had a load of problems with these swfs breaking nearly everything (especially the event handler for mouse clicks) when displaying these in a mx.component.Loader ?

i read that you must use the _lockroot property with these swfs, which i have been doing but it's not working predictably or consistently.

not all the time, but often, the close button which fires the following events on click:

loader._lockroot = false;
loader.unloadMovie();

doesn't do what it is supposed to do and you have to hold in the mouse button for the click event to be processed. very annoying and i cannot figure out how to fix it to save my life.

please help!

Or does flash paper generate an independent swf that you cannot use at all through actionscript??

Thanks!
