Flash :: Printing Dynamic Images

Images Embedded Within Dynamic TextField Not Printing
Not sure if there's already a thread on this, but my issue is that images that are embedded within a dynamic textfield via XML are not showing up when I try to print using PrintJob. The images are showing up properly within the textfield on the screen, but not in the print preview (and of course not in the final print).

The print functionality is fairly straight forward, I have a MovieClip that contains one dynamic textfield. The textfield is populated by XML and CSS files.

Printing Alternate Images
I have set up a slide viewer in MX, you know scrolls through the images forwards and backwards. The images are loaded from a separate folder so as not to bloat the file size. it all works very nicely. now here is my problem. the images are designed for viewing, ie screen res, but I want to be able to print an alternate version of the image at print res from a separate folder called 'print_images'. I am able to print the images from the first folder fine but any ideas on how to target the 'print_images' files?

cheers

Masked Images And Printing, A No Go?
Good Day Everybody,

I ran across and interesting and infuriating item. Has anyone had any success printing a masked image? When I tried to do this, the mask vanished and in its place was an ugly white square surrounding my image.

At first I thought that the problem was the printer driver I was using to compile to a pdf. When I tried to print directly to a printer, the same problem occured.

Has anyone else come across this? Does anyone know of a workaround? Am I approaching this the wrong way?

Printing Imported Images
For some reason, Flash won't let me print images I've imported, like .jpgs or .pngs. Other computers with other copies of the same program, though, seem to have no problem printing from the same files.

Does anyone know how to make it so Flash will print the whole image? Is there some option I need to toggle somewhere that I can't find?

Printing Images In Flash MX
Hi flashers! I'm having trouble with printing in flash. What I have is a project where I have pictures dynamically loaded when the user clicks on a thumbnail and I want to put a button on the screen so that whatever picture is loaded at that time, will get printed when the print button is pushed. I tried some scripting examples that I found on the forums and I've managed to print either the entire frame (image and vectors) full page or I've printed just the vector (print button) full page. All I want is the image full page. While I'm at it, I also want to add a button that emails the current picture too. How can I do this? My panties are twisted in knots!

Toodles,

Printing Math Based Images From Flash
Hi fellow flashers!

Is there a way to get a math based drawing from Flash into illustrator and that way I can print it nicely?

For example my coworker showed me a math based generated image he wrote with flashes Drawing API...and he now wants to use it for a logo but he doesn't want a cheasy screen shot...he would like the actual postscript vector procedure and get it into illustrator somehow? Is this even possible???

Thanks in advance!

Dynamic Printing
How do I get all of the text in a scrollable dynamic text box to print.

Currently i have a print button with the following code:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();
if (result) {
myPrintJob.addPage("txt");
myPrintJob.send();
delete myPrintJob;
} else {
//No printer, or canceled print
}
}

The problem is that it only prints the text that is visible to the user instead of ALL of the text.

Printing Dynamic Text
Hi!

I'm having little trouble printing a string variable from Flash. Can someone help me.

Since there is no direct way, I loaded it into a dynamic text field inside an MC. Both the "Print" and "PrintAsBitmap", when used prints all other objects in that MC except the dynamic text field !!

Downloading And Printing A Dynamic JPG
I started an earlier thread about dynamically loading a JPEG into an mc named 'holder'. I have this done now but need to do more with it once it is loaded. Firstly the user will need to be able to download the image by clicking on a button. The finished movie is to go onto a CD-ROM and so the user will need to be able to do this within a self-contained Flash Player and not a browser.

Is this possible? If so what code do I need to use? If not can it be done if the movie is played in a browser?

Secondly, the JPGs that are loaded into the mc need to be printed by the user. I have set it up so that when a button is clicked the image prints. The JPGs will vary in size and we want them to print at their actual size. The problem at present is that when the user presses the Print button, the JPG prints resized to fit the A4 paper.

On the Print button I have this code:

------------------------------------------------
on (release) {
printAsBitmap("holder", "bmovie");
}
------------------------------------------------

Within the holder mc there are 2 layers. The first layer has one frame with a stop action and a label "#p". The second layer has 2 frames, the first is empty and the second has a label "#b" and a bounding box box drawn in it. I have tried playing around with different settings, but can't get it right. How do I allow the user to print the JPEGs at their actual size?

TIA,

Adrian

Printing Dynamic Text
Hi,

Would anyone be able to offer some advice on how to print some dynamic text in MX?

Here's the details:

> A movie clip on the main timeline
> Within this movie clip there's a dynamic text field with its content called from an external file
> This content is scrollable (as it is too big to all fit within the text field).

I've got a print button that targets the movie clip the same size as the dynamic text box in it. However, I ca only print what's visible on-screen in the movie clip.

Is there any way I can print the whole of the dynamic text file, even though parts of it are off screen waiting to be scrolled.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Printing Dynamic Content
I was wondering how I could do this. I have a stage onto which the user can drag icons and add info, the number of icons they can drag and the amount of info they can write is infinite.

Now I want to be able to print a summary of that information ie take all that info put it in another place where the user can view it and print it.

I guess I will need some kind of dynamic text building thingie to build the summary, but how would one go about printing it, when you can't say the extent of what you need to print.

is there a way or am I better off using an external app to get the variables out of flash? (its not web based though!)

Printing Dynamic Textfields?
Hi

I am workong on an app that parses in XML data in 6 languages. I need to be able to print out portions of this data. As I don't know the number of pages to print out, because this will vary from user to user and language to language, I am testing ways of achieving the printout. I have a few issues so far:

1) How can I add dynamic #p markers?
I don't think this is possible, I have tried attaching MCs with a #p marker embedded but I only want one print dialog box coming up for the user. I am using the printasbitmap(movie,"bmovie") command and can only target one MC.

2) How can I measure page overlap?
I have autosize textfields that I am populating from the XML, however I can't work out how to obtain the 'chunk' of data that I will need to be moved to the next page. Because of the multilingual aspect I can't rely on character counts. I will need to determine exactly how many lines I can fit on each page. I have experimented with textfield heights, but this doesn't give me a way of targeting the data to move to the next page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne

Printing Bug W/dynamic Text ?
Greetings.

I have recently been overhauling an old client site; in the process, one particular SWF that used to be level0 is now loaded into a main interface, so this SWF now resides at level10. I mention this because the problem I'm encountering didn't happen before, yet I'm certain nothing else remotely relevant has changed.

The user clicks a button to print a movie clip. The movie clip in question contains some dynamic text. When the movie clip displays on screen, you see the dynamic text right where it should be. Here's where it gets weird.

When you go ahead and print this, the dynamic text disappears.

Now, I have tried many things to work around this, including creating a new textfield via actionscript and using that one instead, and even going back to old Flash and using a variable instead of a proper textfield. I've tried different fonts (not that that should matter -- the appropriate characters are embedded anyway, and besides, the clip wouldn't display properly onscreen if they weren't).

Also, the problem is encountered whether viewing the movies through a browser or using the standalone player.

I have also verified that the clip I think I'm printing is in fact the clip that Flash is printing.

I'm not really asking for help to troubleshoot this step-by-step, as I believe I've exhausted all the normal possibilities. What I'm interested in is knowing if anyone has heard of such a bug/eccentricity before, and if he or she has ever heard of a workaround.

(BTW, I've already scoured the flashkit and were-here forums looking for an answer, but found none.)

Many thanks.

Printing A Dynamic Picture
Hi all.

Im currently working on some games for children in MX and would like to know how to add a print function to the images they create on the page.

The game is a silly 'change the bits' of the animal, with 3 buttons changing the head, tail, and legs on a templated body to come up with a silly final product.

There are 10 options for each button and so, numerous final pet possibilities.

Id like to add the ability for the site visitor to print out the final product but havent got the faintest clue how.

Id really appreciate any help. Ive attached the actual .fla itself.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Printing Dynamic MC In Scrollbar
Hello all,

I'm having serious issues trying to print an MC I have in Flash. I've tried various methods, but nothing works so far, hopefully somebody has done this or knows where I can find information on how to do it. So here's my dilemma...

I have an MC that scrolls. The MC has dynamic content in it that gets passed from the submit button on the previous frame. The mask that allows the MC to scroll is set dynamically by the scrollbar.

It seems as though I am throwing every issue you can at Flash in order to print. I've thought of not making the MC scrollable and putting in on a different layer, then printing that MC. However, since there is dynamic content, the print button isn't passing the variables to the MC.

I've thought of printing the MC inside the scrollbar, but since the mask is set dynamically, it just prints out white pages.

I've thought of doing away with the dynamic mask, but then the dynamic array under the mask doesn't display.

I am at my wits end and would be eternally thankful of anyone that could help out or point me in the right direction.

As a matter of fact, I could probably pay someone to do it.

Thank you all in advance.

[F8] Printing Dynamic Text
Hey again, I am working on another flash program where the user enters in numbers then hits a calculate button that I've created and the flash shows the results in dynamic text boxes. The problem being however is that when I hit the print button that I've created, the page doesn't display the dynamic numbers that have been calculated on the printed page. Only the numbers that have been entered into the input boxes are being displayed.

So for example the user enters in 10 and 10 in the input boxes (10+10) then hits 'calculate' the dynamic text box (answer) comes up as 20. But when the user goes to print the static page, only 10 + 10 is being printed and the 20 in the answer box isn't showing on the printed page. Only showing on the screen.

Any help here would be great. Thanks!

I have an AS2 project where I need to print the contents of a movie clip. With the clip content contained within the SWF the printing worked perfectly.

Printing The Contents Of A Dynamic Box
Dear Flash users,

Does anyone knows how to code the actionscript that prints out
the contents in a dynamic textbox (instance name:scroller). The
contents are loaded externally from a text file onto a movie clip
(instance name: placeholder).

I've been trying to use the following code:

Code:
btnPrint1.onRelease = function() {
print("_root.placeHolder", "bframe");
};

But it just capture and print the visible area of the movie, and
did not print the complete text inside the dynamic box.
I want to print out only all the text in that dynamic box.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks a million...

Printing Dynamic Content
Hi everyone, i have been working on this application which loads a lot of external swf files, scales them and then i needed user to print each swf on a separate page. To do this, i created a new movieclip and created blank keyframes in it and on every frame i wrote "loadmovie" command to load these swf files.

Everything worked fine until i got to printing. I had used printjobclass to create a job and print pages/frames as per user selection. But no matter what i do it only prints one page, the last frame of that movieclip. Code is as below :

var pj = new PrintJob();
var success = pj.start();
if(success)
{
for(var i=1;i<=mpages;i++)
{
pj.addPage("mc_print",{xMin:0,xMax:612,yMin:0,yMax :792},{printAsBitmap:false},i);
}
pj.send();
}
delete pj;

I was just wondering if any of you guys have worked on something similar encountered the same issue and found a way to get it working.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Dynamic Text Printing - Is It Possible?

I have wasted most the day trying to find an answer to this, so if anyone knows if this isn't possible, please let me know.

I have SWF that is loading dynamic text, which I am trying to PRINT. So basically, just a button that you hit that sends the text to a printer, nothing more nothing less, sounds simple bloody isn't!

Printing Dynamic Textboxes
Im using flash mx 2004 and created a flash form with a print button at first it prints the form but not the dynamically filled textboxes. Then i put the textboxes as part of a movieclip and it print but it only exposes 1 variable out of 15 after inspection the only difference i found was that that ONE was multiline while the others were not. The textboxes get their info from a .cfm coldfusion page. here's the code ive got, a nudge in the right direction is appreciated.

SCRIPT TO GET Dynamic info from Database:

Code:

loadVariablesNum("mypage.cfm", 0);

SCRIPT FOR PRINT BUTTON:

Code:

on (release) {
formPrint_pj = new PrintJob();
formPrint_pj.start();
formPrint_pj.addPage("form");
formPrint_pj.send();
}
on (rollOver) {
info = "click here to print";

It is this frame that i need to print..and it is based on
various options selected in the previous frame..

the user may also want to go back and change some options and again come back to print the same page.

is this possible in flash..I'm aware of the print function but do not know if one can print a frame which is built up of various symbols from a preselection...

Hope someone can help!

Printing Dynamic Text In Flash
We have a Flash piece that serves a quotation from a SQL database using the LoadVariablesNum action. It accesses a page called users.asp that executes the script to display the quote.

I've been successful in loading this movie, quotemovieDyn.swf, into another movie that contains a frame image, so the quote is served into a nice printable frame.

I've been trying for about the past 2 days to understand and implement the example in the MM Flash Web Printing Kit to use in this example, but their printable swf contains static text and images.

I can get the dynamic text to serve into the frame.
I can get the frame to print with some static text placed on it.

I can't, however, get the frame to print with the dynamic text showing up in the frame as it does in the screen version.

Is it possible to print this movie if:
a) It's loading a submovie (loadMovie action)
b) That submovie serves dynamic text from a database?

Thanks so much for any assistance,
Susan

Printing A Clip Of Dynamic Content...
I've got an array of objects... think shopping cart...

I'm able to aggregate all of the items into a single clip for display on screen... think "view basket contents". This works fine.

But I cannot get it to print.

What happens is the clip prints just fine except none of my "items" show up... just an empty cart. They're in the clip... I can see them on screen, but they don't print.

The print function seems to print the clip in its "frame 1" state and none of the dynamic content shows up.

Anyone got any ideas?
