Flash :: PrintJob

Using PrintJob
hi I am developing a project in which I use the PrintJob to print a screen. The problem is that the impression does not fit in the paper. the format of the screen is of 1024 x 768. in axle y leaves everything, but in axle x it only leaves the half. It would like that somebody help me, therefore I know that it is a simple thing but I did not obtain to decide. I placed the code below so that all see and obtain to indicate me the error.

Code:
//var impressao:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

on (release){

var impressao:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

if (impressao.start()){
// Starting at 0,0, print an area 400 pixels wide
// and 600 pixels high of frame 3 of the "dance_mc" movie clip
// in vector format at 50% of its actual size
var x:Number = fundo_mc._xscale;
var y:Number = fundo_mc._yscale;
fundo_mc._xscale = 50;
fundo_mc._yscale = 50;
if (impressao.addPage(0,{xMin:0,xMax:1024,yMin:0,yMax:768},null, 3)){

fundo_mc._xscale = x;
fundo_mc._yscale = y;

}
impressao.send();
delete impressao;
}

PrintJob From An URL
Im trying to use printJob to print a file from an URL, is this possible ?
here is my printJob

ActionScript Code:
bar_mc.print_btn.onRelease = function():Void{

var pj = new PrintJob();
var success = pj.start();
if(success)
{
//pj.addPage (0, {xMin : 0, xMax: 400: yMin: 0, yMax: 400});
pj.addPage("http://www.waringcollins.com/wsademomag/pdfs/test.pdf", {xMin : -300, xMax: 300, yMin: 400, yMax: 800});
pj.send();
}
delete pj;

};

when i call this from my print button (bar_mc.print_btn) the print dialog box comes up ok, but the print has spooled my main .swf file and not the file the URL is pointing to (this is when I preview my print from a local test).
Is this because I am testing locally or am I missing something to print a file from an URL ??

thanx for any ideas.

PrintJob Help
I am having difficulty with printing specific frame numbers and the dynamic XML code loaded into my Flash movie. All this code does is print the current frame (totally ignores the frameNum parameter) and does not print the dynamic code. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Code:
//----print-------------

function printTut(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
mySprite.addChild(stage);
mySprite.rotation=90;
mySprite.scaleY=.80;
mySprite.scaleX=.80;
var frameNum:Number = 7;
var printArea:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,991,583);
var myOption:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
myOption.printAsBitmap = true;
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
myPrintJob.start();
myPrintJob.addPage(mySprite,printArea,null,frameNum);
myPrintJob.send();
}

print_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,printTut);

PrintJob
I have a movie where the current page (level 5) prints out but my movie is 1000 x 725 which is too large for an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.

I thought there was a way to scale the output to fit on the paper - is there? Remember, I'm print out an entire level, not a movieclip.

Thanks.

Looping PrintJob
HI,

I have created a project which loads in dynamically selected images and text. In order to print this each page has to be visible.

This is off course no "biggie" when printing one offs, but I want to include an option that lets users print a range of pages.

To do this I have used a looping control clip which tells the root timeline to move on one frame at a time. Then I was hoping to use the Printjob and add a page to the print job on every frame, then send all the added pages to the printer.

But I have found that printJob seems to only work when start(),addPage and send are all in the one function and not spread accross multiple frames as I have done.
_______________________________________________
code for print button:

print_butt.onPress=function()
{
//create printjob
my_pj = new PrintJob();
//if dialog box selected goto and play "printloop" frame

if (my_pj.start()) {
gotoAndPlay("printloop");
}}

code on: "printloop"

//ass frame to printjob
if(my_pj.addPage(_level0, null, null, 0))
{
pageCount++
}

code on:next frame

//increment _root frame, if from=to: stop looping
_root.p_from += 1;
if (_root.p_from>_root.p_to) {
gotoAndStop("printPause");

} else {
//set orientation and send spool to printer
my_pj.orientation = "landscape";
my_pj.send();
//clean up
delete my_pj;
//add another page to print job
gotoAndPlay("printloop");
}
____________________________________________

As you can see from above Im not great at coding But if anyone can decipher my coding and offer any guidance.....Kind thanks to you

PrintJob Class
I am using the printjob class to try and print a page in my flash movie. This works fine in the testing environment but when I move it to the browser It prints a blank page.

I don't believe the code is the problem since the print dialogue box pops up and everything. But here is the code I am using.

Code:
on(click)
{
//Print page
var my_pj = new PrintJob();

if(my_pj.start())
{
_root._xscale = 75;
_root._yscale = 75;
if(my_pj.addPage(0))
{
my_pj.send();
}
}
delete my_pj;
//_root._xscale = 100;
//_root._yscale = 100;
}

PrintJob Problem
I'm making a photo presentation in Flash and i'm building a print function.
But i have to rotate my MC depending on the printer setting and my input was using the PrintJob.orientation in an if statement for this. This doesn't work.
Here's my error report and below that is my code.
(The flash version I use is Flash MX 2004 Professional)

ERROR REPORT:

**Error** Symbol=control plans, layer=Layer 3, frame=1:Line 8: The property being referenced does not have the static attribute.
if ( PrintJob.orientation == "Portrait" ) {

} else ( PrintJob.orientation == "Landscape") {

} else ( PrintJob.orientation == "Landscape") {

ACTIONSCRIPT:

Code:
printknop.onRelease = function()
{
_parent.menu._alpha = 0;
var printer = new PrintJob();
var myResult = printer.start();
if(myResult){
myResult = printer.addPage (0, {xMin : 0, xMax: 800, yMin: 0, yMax: 800});
if ( PrintJob.orientation == "Portrait" ) {
_parent._rotation += 90;
_parent._yscale = 90;
_parent._y += 109;
_parent._xscale = 90;
_parent._x -= 120;
} else ( PrintJob.orientation == "Landscape") {

_parent._xscale = 90;
}
printer.send();
}
delete printer;
if ( PrintJob.orientation == "Portrait" ) {
_parent._rotation -= 90;
_parent._yscale = 100;
_parent._y -= 109;
_parent._xscale = 100;
_parent._x += 120;
} else ( PrintJob.orientation == "Landscape") {
_parent._yscale = 100;
_parent._xscale = 100;
}
_parent.menu._alpha = 100;
}

Maybe there's a very simple solution to this but i don't know it. And i'm just a newbie that's learning.
So, thanxz to everybody who would like to take a look at this for me!

Printjob Fit On Page
I've got a swf. One of the functions in it is to print the current frame. This all works fine with a button and printjob action... I want to make sure it only prints within the bounds of the movie (980 x 615). I use the following code:

on(release){
my_pj = new PrintJob()
my_pj.start();
my_pj.addPage(0, {xMin:0,xMax:980,yMin:0,yMax:615})
my_pj.send();
delete my_pj;
}

However, I'd like this print to fit on the page (e.g. A4).. Right now it just prints one page and part of the image is cut off, if you catch my drift. It does do the bounding box correctly, though.

Is there a way I can get it to scale the print so that it fits on the page?

Anyone Know How To Use :PrintJob Class ?
Hi, I know that I can use the PrintJob class: PrintJob.start(), PrintJob.addPage(), PrintJob.send() to send my data to my printer. But I cant find any sample on the net. Anyone here knows where I can find a sample of .fla file where I can learn how to use this function??

PrintJob Questions
Anyone here did more complex PrintJobs before?

I'm trying to make a popup menu right after the PrintJob.start() function, so that the user can do some page setup.

The menu will make use of the properties within the PrintJob object, and finally create the pages using addPage() and then send().

Some things I've observed...

- The print job gets sent to the printer even without calling PrintJob.send(), so what is this function for??

- The PrintJob object is valid only for that frame. After I had this popup menu, the PrintJob object is no longer valid it seems.. I couldn't retrieve its properties after the current frame is over.

Anyone with advice on this?

Strange PrintJob
using MX and printJob i am trying to print a large movie over a couple of A4 pages.

the movie (mcTest) is 745 pixels wide and 681 pixels high.

so on the assumption that an A4 page is 595 x 822 pixels, i was using the following addPage commands to send the pages to the printJob :

pj.addPage("mcTest"{xMin:0,xMax:595,yMin:0,yMax:68 1},1);
pj.addPage("mcTest"{xMin:595,xMax:745,yMin:0,yMax: 681},1);

...and expecting the first page to have the majority of the movie on it and the rest on the second page.

the first page prints OK but the second is blank.
and if i tweak the second line so that xMin has a value of 395 is starts to look correct. but to my logic it should then be overlapping by 200 pixels.

has anyone done much work with printJob() and if so, am i missing something here??

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Printjob Nightmare
Hi I am a newbie to this forum. So 'hello everyone'. I am having a bit of a crisis at the minute with a deadline coming up and I am wondering if anyone can help.

I am trying to get a print button to work dynamically. when the button is pressed an image is downloaded into an MC and when complete it should print. Which would be nice. Not the case though.

In principle it works. the print dialog will appear when the images have completely downloaded but it also appears throughout the downloading process. from the start to the finish. The dialog box can appear tons of times depending on the download time.

What is happening is the print dialog box comes up straight away and even though you press print or cancel it continues to come up until the entire image is downloaded. As the swf stalls each time the print dialog box appears it can take some time for the image to load.

I have been stuck on this for weeks. I have listed the code below and would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help me get passed this hurdle.

Cheers !!!

//button code
on (release){
_root.startingPrinting();
}

function startingPrinting(){
var printFirst = page;
var printSecond = page +1;
// Using ZoomifyViewer to render images - printing 2 pages at a time
_root.print1.print1.setImagePath(printFirst);
_root.print1.print1.updateView();
_root.print2.print2.setImagePath(printSecond);
_root.print2.print2.updateView();
_root.initCheck();

}

function initCheck(){
myInterval = setInterval(startChecking, 1000);
}
function startChecking(){
var print2IsReady = _root.print2.print2.checkTileQueue();
if(print2IsReady==false) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
trace("It's finally loaded! Print now!");
_root.readyToPrint();
}
}
function readyToPrint (){
printJob = new PrintJob();
if (printJob.start())
{
printJob.addPage(_root.print1,{xMin:0,xMax:583,yMi n:0,yMax:763},{printAsBitmap:true},"");
printJob.addPage(_root.print2,{xMin:0,xMax:583,yMi n:0,yMax:763},{printAsBitmap:true},"");
printJob.send();
}
else
{
trace( "print start failed");
}
delete printJob;
}

thank you

PrintJob Class
hi,

have spent a couple hours trying to get the PrintJob class working but with no luck.

i am trying to print a dynamic text box inside a movieclip. the dynamic text box brings in an xml file. my file is identical to the help files example on using style sheets with xml and it works perfectly fine.

i've previously used the print function with no trouble, the print dialogue box was brought up even though i don't have a printer attached. now i am trying to use the PrintJob class i can't get the dialogue box to appear.

i've followed all the help files in flash. i've copied the code straight from the help files and simply renamed and rerouted things accordingly but it doesn't work.

i'd appreciate any tips, things to check or simple examples of the PrintJob class actually working.

cheers,

dave.

Some Help With Printjob Please Chaps
I am needing to print potentially large volumes of text from a flash swf. I have looked into the printjob functionality, and it seems to be what is needed here as i need multipage printing, and for the text to display properly on the printed page.
I am struggling, however, to see how you target a specific textfield or variable, to be the sole content that is printed.

Essentially, i just want to print the contents of a textfield via printjob... Does anyone have an easily moddable script/fla i could use?

the example scripts for printjob i have found sont seem to target a textfield/movie clip etc.

thanks in advance

PrintJob AddPage() HELP
I have a phot gallery that allows the user to print off any picture he/she likes. It prints the picture fine, but i want to also print the caption. The picture and the caption are on two different layers so i have two different addPage() calls. This, however, prints out two spereate pages (obviously). how can i make the captions print on the same page as the picture?

Here's my code:

function prnt_funct(eventObj:Object)
{
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (my_pj.start()) {
if ( my_pj.addPage("slideShow_mc", {xMin : 0, xMax: 400, yMin: min, yMax: max}) &&
my_pj.addPage("txt.description_txt" ) ) ){my_pj.send();
}
}
delete my_pj;

[F8] Possible PrintJob Class Bug ?
I'm using the PrintJob Class for the first time. It seems simple enough but when I use the parameters in the addPage() method to isolate a section of the movie I want to print, my print output is skewed about 25% to the left and the runoff gets flipped over to the other side. In short - the print output is all distorted. I've tried several printers on the network and they all show the same results. However, when I remove the section specific parameters and instead send the entire clip to the printer, it comes out perfect. I need to be able to print sections though.

Here's my code:

myClip.printButton.onPress = function(){
trace("PRINT");
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (my_pj.start()) {
if (my_pj.addPage(0,{xMin:10,xMax:188,yMin:20,yMax:22 7},{printAsBitmap:true}, 0)) {
my_pj.send();
}
}
delete my_pj;
}
stop();

I don't seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary here. My Google search turned up empty so perhaps this isn't a common problem. I'm at a loss and hopefully someone here can help me out.

Thanx in advance.

Does PrintJob Have To Be Entirely In 1 Frame?
I have a movie in which images and text fields change as frames advance.

I have four frames that are set up as templates. My movie changes the contents of these four templates dynamically.

I want to print each template after it is updated and I want to print everything as a single printJob.

Can printJob do this? I seem to have problems creating a printJob on one frame and then trying to add pages when I move to different frames.

Can printJob be spread across different frames?

[F8] Question About PrintJob
Hi, I have a problem when printing some information displayed on screen. The information is displayed on a TextArea.

The first problem I ran into, already solved though, was that only the lines displayed on the textArea where printed. As I've said, I could solve this by forcing it to be scrolled before adding the next page. But now the problem is: the textArea is printed as it is, with its width, height and its scroll bar, leaving a lot of blank space.

So, how can I output the data so that it covers the space I want it to cover?

How Do I Use The PrintJob Class
I have a flash file that contains multiple dynamic text boxes that loads in external .html files depending on which button is pressed.

How do you print the contents of a dynamic text box, where
the content changes when a user clicks a button?

I have looked at the Macromedia Livedocs - PrintJob Class, but do not understand how to link the actionscript to the dynamic text boxes...

Can someone help?

PrintJob Problem
Hi guys,

i'm struggling with fixing a little problem with the printJob function;
problem i'm facing is that when i call the print function, it opens the print dialog box fine, i can select landscape orientation in my print settings, and the movieclip is printed fine... but when i select portrait as my orientation, the movieclip is clipped on the right edge (vertical scale is fine)...

here's the code i'm working with (courtesy of a previous ActionScript.org post):

Code:
function printScreen(mc_content:MovieClip):Boolean
{
printFlag = false;
var pageSpooled:Boolean = false;
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var Orig_xScale:Number;
var Orig_yScale:Number;

// Open Print dialog using .start - if my_pj.start returns false, user
//canceled print dialog...
if (my_pj.start())
{
var PrintWidth:Number, PrintHeight:Number;
var MCWidth:Number, MCHeight:Number;
var MCOrigXScale:Number, MCOrigYScale:Number;
var MCRotated:Boolean = false;
var ScaleFactor:Number;

// Get the printer's width and height dimensions...
PrintWidth = my_pj.pageWidth;
PrintHeight = my_pj.pageHeight;

// Get the dimensions of the movieclip we're printing
MCWidth = mc_content._width;
MCHeight = mc_content._height;

// Handle Scaling...
// Capture current MovieClip X and Y Scale to restore later
MCOrigXScale = mc_content._xscale;
MCOrigYScale = mc_content._yscale;

// Match orientation of Movie Clip to orientation of Printer...
if (my_pj.orientation == "landscape")
{
// If orientation is landscape, then make movieclip portrait.
if(MCWidth < MCHeight)
{
mc_content._rotation = 90;
MCRotated = true;
}
}
else
{
// If orientation is portrait, then make sure movieclip matches.
if (MCWidth > MCHeight)
{
mc_content._rotation = 90;
MCRotated = true;
}
}

// Determine if width or height is to be used to scale image...
if (MCWidth > MCHeight)
{
if (MCRotated) ScaleFactor = PrintWidth/MCHeight;
else ScaleFactor = PrintWidth/MCWidth;
}
else
{
if (MCRotated) ScaleFactor = PrintWidth/MCWidth;
else ScaleFactor = PrintWidth/MCHeight;
}

// Execute scaling process
mc_content._xscale = ScaleFactor*100;
mc_content._yscale = ScaleFactor*100;

// Now that movieclip is scaled to printer size, spool page.
pageSpooled = my_pj.addPage(mc_content)

// Now re-scale movieclip being printed to original scale...
mc_content._xscale = MCOrigXScale;
mc_content._yscale = MCOrigYScale;
if (MCRotated) mc_content._rotation = 0;
}

// If addPage() was successful, print the spooled page.
if (pageSpooled)my_pj.send();
delete my_pj;
if (pageCount > 0) return(true);
else return(false);
}
This problem is repeatable, both in all attached printers, Microsoft Document Image Writer and Adobe Distiller...

any ideas???

PrintJob(); Question...
Hi guys,

Sorry to be such a newb, I have a flash calculator that I programmed and my question is about the printing system.

I have a dataslider mc (_root.dataslider), where I do all the calculator calculations, then at print time, I load a separate set of mcs (printDataSHeet1 and 2) to format the content for printing. They are supposed to dynamically pull text out of _root.dataslider just prior to printing but this is not happening and I am getting all default values.

This happens whether I try to load them from the library and attachMovie them to a created movieclip or if I place the mc out of sight of the user and then add its frames as pages to the printjob.

Any ideas? This is going to drive me nuts! Can actionscript execute when printJob.addPage(); is scrubbing the timeline of the target mc forward or am I locked into whatever, non-dynamic values are there?

Here is the printing code:
(I am a noob, plz be gentle)

Code:
_root.navbuttons.btprint.onRelease = function() {
_root.dataslider.calcIt();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("page1", 8);
_root.page1.attachMovie("dataSheetPrintable1", "dataSheet1", 0);
_root.page1._y = 0;
_root.page1._xscale = 72.5;
_root.page1._yscale = 72.5;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("page2", 10);
_root.page2.attachMovie("dataSheetPrintable2", "dataSheet2", 0);
_root.page2._y = 1000;
_root.page2._xscale = 72.5;
_root.page2._yscale = 72.5;
// We're printing below this line
// create an instance of the PrintJob Class
// Actual printing is disabled for now, fields are not populating...why?!
var printJob_pj = new PrintJob();
// if user presses ok at the system default print dialog

PrintJob-Class …. How To ….. ?
I would like to be able to print a external loaded text with the PrintJob-Class – but I would like to print the text with a different layout than the one on the website.
I’ve tried to place i ton a special ”printFrame” in frame 5:
myPrintJob.addPage(0, {xMin:0, xMax:500, yMin:0, yMax:800}, null, 5);
….. the graphix prints out fine – but not the external loaded text 

Du YOU have a way to do this???

Greetings from Lars, www.medieskolen.dk, Denmark

This is how i load the text:
ExternText = new LoadVars();
ExternText.onData = function(denLoadedeText) {
tekst_txt.htmlText = denLoadedeText;
};
ExternText.load("externtext.txt");
tekst_txt.autoSize = "right";

This is the code on the printButton:
btn.onRelease = function() {
var myPrintJob = new PrintJob();
var success = myPrintJob.start();
if (success) {
myPrintJob.addPage(0, {xMin:0, xMax:500, yMin:0, yMax:800}, null, 5);
myPrintJob.send();
}
delete myPrintJob;
};

PrintJob Problem
Hi all~

i use code to print a page of my movie like this:

Code:
btn_print.onRelease = function()
{
var printer = new PrintJob();

if (printer.start())
{
//if (printer.addPage(target:Object, [printArea:Object], [options:Object], [frameNum:Number]))
if (printer.addPage(0, null, null, 90))
{
printer.send();
}
}
else
{
trace("Error: Can not find a printer !");
}

delete printer;
}
but there's a problem. ie, this function works only once. the next time i clicked the print button but nothing happened. i made some test and found it is because onRelease handler(of print button named btn_print) get removed automatically after first printing, so i added a detector movieclip to check and reassign same handler to that button once its handler gets deleted. but it caused system print dialog appeared again and again, i had to close flash movie to stop it, is this a Flash bug ? anyone could figure out how to fix it ? one million thanks !!!

PrintJob Issue
I am having difficulty specifying the frame to print (only prints current frame and ignores the frameNum parameter) and does not print the dynamic XML text that I have loaded to the movie. Can you help on this?

Code:
function printTut(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
var printArea:Rectangle = null;
var options:PrintJobOptions = null;
var frameNum:int = 2;
mySprite.addChild(stage);
mySprite.rotation=90;
mySprite.scaleY=.80;
mySprite.scaleX=.80;
myPrintJob.start();
myPrintJob.addPage(mySprite,printArea,options,frameNum);
myPrintJob.send();
}

print_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,printTut);

Test PrintJob Please
Hello,
Can you please test http://www.pixelplay.net/lagardeTest/ section "contact" subsection "plan", try to print it and tell me the result you have on paper+ copy-paste of the debug textfield (above the plan); My client keep saying that it doesn't print anything (it does print on my side). This thing is driving me crazy ;(

here goes the code I'm using por the printing:

ActionScript Code:
bt_print.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler);
import flash.printing.PrintJob;
import flash.display.Sprite;
function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent)
{
var my_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var mySprite:Sprite = new Plan_print();
debug.appendText("my_pj.start
");
if(my_pj.start())
{
debug.appendText("my_pj.pageHeight= "+my_pj.pageHeight+"
");
debug.appendText("my_pj.pageWidth= "+my_pj.pageWidth+"
");
debug.appendText("mySprite= "+mySprite+"
");
debug.appendText("mySprite= "+mySprite.height+"
");
debug.appendText("mySprite= "+mySprite.width+"
");

if (mySprite.height > my_pj.pageHeight)
{
mySprite.scaleY = my_pj.pageHeight / mySprite.height;
}
if (mySprite.width > my_pj.pageWidth)
{
mySprite.scaleX= my_pj.pageWidth / mySprite.width;
}
debug.appendText("mySprite.scaleX= "+mySprite.scaleX+"
");
debug.appendText("mySprite.scaleY= "+mySprite.scaleY+"
");

my_pj.addPage(mySprite);
my_pj.send();

}
}

PrintJob And Mask
Hi guys,

I have a textfield with _height=400 masked by a MovieClip with _height=200

and when I call printJob class, it prints only what's _visible in the mask, I would like to print the entire text in the textfield, not only the masked area.

is there any way?

my code is:

Code:

var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
//
if (pj.start()) {
var pagesToPrint:Number = 0;
//
if (pj.addPage("newcampo")) {
pagesToPrint++;
}
//
if (pagesToPrint > 0) {
pj.send();
}
}

PrintJob: Resizing
I have a movie where the current page (level 5) prints out but my movie is 1000 x 725 which is too large for an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper.

I thought there was a way to scale the output to fit on the paper - is there? Remember, I'm print out an entire level, not a movieclip.

Thanks.

It seems PrintJob does not work without calling the .start() method (which opens the Dialog Box) is there any way to workaround this problem?

Thanks in advance

PrintJob Weirdness
I have done various searches on the PrintJob class but could really do with some advice please.

I have a movie that offers a choice of 3 flyers to print out, so there are 3 initial buttons.

When a button (say flyer 1) is clicked it loads flyer1.swf into an empty mc with the instance name of flyer.

Flyer1 has 2 frames: in the first there is an input text field called dateIn_var, in frame 2 there is dynamic text field called dateOut_var. There's a stop(); in frame 1 and the code in frame 2 is: dateOut_var = dateIn_var;

In the root movie in frame 1 there are the 3 buttons. Also in this frame number is the empty mc flyer.
My code for loading the flyers is:
................
flyer1_bt.onRelease = function () {
flyer.loadMovie("flyer1.swf");
gotoAndStop(5);
}
...............

This loads my flyer and advances the playhead to frame 5 on the root timeline where I have a print button (print_bt).
on frame 5 I have this code:
................
print_bt.onRelease = function() {
flyer.gotoAndStop(5);
var pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var success = pj.start();
if(success)
{
pj.addPage(0,{xMin:0, xMax:355, yMin:0, yMax:500}, {printAsBitmap:false}, 5);
pj.send();
}
delete pj;
}
.............
This updates my flash movie's dynamic text field but when I press the button on my computer's print dialog box, I get a print out of my flyer with empty dynamic text fields. The weird thing is that if I do a second print the text fields print out as intended. It seems like the code is stopping the movie before the text fields load initially and then continuing AFTER a print has been made.

Is there a way to resolve this? I have tried moving the code for my dynamic text to an earlier frame without luck so far.

(BTW the code below appears after attempting to use the attach code button on Safari...)

Attach Code

flyer1_bt.onRelease = function () {
flyer.loadMovie("flyer1.swf");
gotoAndStop(5);
}
