Double Print Box Opens Up
hello!
I am using a pretty hit and miss set up with my printing.
I get a double print box called up, and when I hit the print onthe first i get a good sized pic but when I dont use the topmost box but cancel it and click on the lower most one to print it prints out a smaller image.
This is the set up.
I have a container_mc which holds an image. cept i never get it printed out. The movie clip is linked and called containcer_mc too.
next:
I have a button with the following attached:
on (release) {
getURL ("print:");
print ("_root.container_mc", "bframe");
}
which sits in a movie clip,that is called up at the end of a game.
I have a frame called #P in the root about 4 frames in, which I have had to place the image in instead of the container_mc because it manages to find THIS image here but nowhere else. even if I place the frame #P lable on the container_mc where I presume the image should be got from and no where else.
I know I have got it really messed up but if noone can follow this, at least let me know how a print button works for real and do it step by step in idiot mode pls.
DOH!
Thank you;

Double Print Input Text On MAC?
Hi
I have created a kind of word processinf interface that the user can use to change fonts etc.
I am having problems printing input text fields without the font embedded. The font in use is always native to the machine (using FonList) in use and is displayed ok - my problem is that it is printed on a MAC it prints the text twice (one slightly offset from the other) One appears to be a bitmap too which is wierd!! As soon as I embed the font it stops, however I can't do this as I want the user to change the font (embedding it disbales this functionality)
All is fine on PC.
Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?
Cheers

Print Action Doesn't Print Content In The Centre Of Paper.
I am wondering if there is any option to control how the content of the frame can be printed from Flash projector of a loaded movie clip.
The "Print" button resides in the loaded movie clip. Here is the code:
on (release) {
print("_parent.quiz", "bmovie");
gotoAndPlay("#p");
}
Shouldn't be any problem. When I print this frame from the loaded movie itself it is printed well. It printed all content exactly in a centre of the page. However, when I try to print this frame of the loaded movie from the main movie it moves all content to the right bottom side of the paper.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Double My Array? Double The Fun
HEY!
Have a nice random array here courtesy of Pixelwit from this site but i need the numbers to duplicate in the array..as an example, instead of the array saying...
[7, 4, 23, 14, etc]
it would double them...
[7, 7, 4, 4, 23, 23, 14, 14, etc]
Below is the code...i'm too much of a newbie so far to make it work, any help would be great!
(alternativly, i just need code that makes a random 10 number array, no two numbers the same, but then duplicates each one twice in the array then assigns that array to a variable)
thanks
ActionScript Code:
// How to shuffle any Array
// (Robert Penner June 2001)
Array.prototype.shuffle = function () {
var len = this.length;
for (var i = 0; i<len; i++) {
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*len);
var temp = this[i];
this[i] = this[rand];
this[rand] = temp;
}
}
//
// Make initial array and shuffle it
totalImgs = 25;
allImgsArry = [];
for(i=0; i<totalImgs; i++){
allImgsArry[i] = i+1;
}
allImgsArry.shuffle();
trace("allImgsArry = "+allImgsArry);
//
// How to chop big array into little ones
function chopAllImgsArry(divisor){
var i = 1;
while(i*divisor<allImgsArry.length){
this["imgsArry"+i] = allImgsArry.slice((i-1)*divisor, i*divisor);
i++;
}
this["imgsArry"+i] = allImgsArry.slice((i-1)*divisor);
}
//
// Chop big array and show results
divisor = 10;
chopAllImgsArry(divisor)
for(i=1; i<Math.ceil(allImgsArry.length/divisor+1); i++){
trace("imgsArry"+i+" = "+this["imgsArry"+i])

Print Actionscript Vs Context Menu Print
I can't for the life of me figure out this oxymoron:
If I include a Print button in my flash movie, I can't seem to find a way in actionscript to print the current frame.
But, in the Flashplayer, if you right click and select Print, you can pick Selection, and it does prints the current frame.
(I need this selectivity, because I have a line of sofas being displayed between keyframes, and I don't want to print out all the sofas in the movies, just the one the user paused the player on)
If anyone has ideas about how to print the CURRENT frame, I'd love to hear it...

Print Doesn't Print Variables, But Displays It ?
Q1. Dynamic values are passed to a print frame (say frame 10 of the main timeline). A movieclip in the
frame 10 contains 2 frames.
Q2. The dynamic values are passed correctly into frame 1 of the movieclip, but not frame 2 of the same
movieclip in the print movieclip timeline.
Also, when I move from frame 1 to 2 and back to frame 1,
the values in frame 1 are also not displayed in the dynamic text.
Q3. When the Print command is clicked, it doesn't print all the dynamic values. Say while giving print
command from frame 1, the values in the frame 2 are not printed. When I move to page 1 and page 2
backand forth, and then give the print command both of the values are not printed (but they are
displayed). Where is the problem?
<as>
Code:
first frame:
stop();
letter = "B";
for(i = 1; i<5; i++){
this["item"+i+"_txt"].text = "value"+i;
trace(i);
}
//code for the print button to transfer the values to the print page.
choose_btn.onPress = function(){
PBitem3 = item3_txt.text;
PBitem4 = item4_txt.text;
for(j = 1;j<3; j++){
_level0["P"+letter+"item"+j]= _level0["item"+j+"_txt"].text;
}
gotoAndStop("print");
}
print frame:
for(k=1;k<8;k++){
_level0["printable_mc"]["PBitem"+k+"mc_txt"].text = _level0["PBitem"+k]
}
print_btn.onPress = function(){
print(_root.printable_mc, "bframe");
}
</as>

Print 2 Levels In One Print-command
Hi,
What I have done is a print-window that lets the user choose which pages to print. This works fine when the user selects only one checkbox but when more then one page is to be printed the problems starts.
Each page is loaded onto a different level. I don't want to have to reload the movie-clips since I have variables in them that need to remain intact. I then make the movie-clips invisible so that only on appear at a time on the main time-line (frames 5-9).
The code so far for the print-dialog looks like this...
on (press) {
if (_root.utskrift.alla_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(???);
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
if (_root.utskrift.prog_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(_level1, "bmovie");
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
if (_root.utskrift.dd_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(_level2, "bmovie");
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
if (_root.utskrift.dh_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(_level3, "bmovie");
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
if (_root.utskrift.funk_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(_level4, "bmovie");
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
if (_root.utskrift.samm_checkbox.getValue() == true) {
print(_level5, "bmovie");
unloadMovieNum(8);
}
}
... where movie8 is the print-window. The first if-statement is for printing all pages and if you can help me witj tjis I will be satisfied.
Any ideas that you have will be grately appreciated. This is the last thing I have to do before the project is finished so please help me before I go mad.
If you could axamplafy with some code that would be grate since I'm not a used programmer.

Print Wants To Print A Page For Each Layer?
hi,
i'm trying to figure out why my print button acts like it does, i've read a lot of posts and Macromedia docs on printing.
i have a main file with a blank MC that has external swfs loaded into it. the ext swfs have dynamic data which i need to be able to print.
a print button (which is in the main timeline) will pop up the print options and ask if you want to print pages 1-30, or 1-7, depending on the swf that is loaded (it would ideally only give the option to print 1 page... a page with the data).
the print button uses
printNum ("_root.main", "bmovie");
(i've also tried the "printasbitmap", and just "print")
the empty MC ("main") has a bounding box with a frame labelled #b.
the external swfs have #p on the frames i would like to print, and i even tried !#p on other frames to try to prevent it from asking if i want to print multiple pages.
any suggestions or pointing to articles/tuts that focus on involved printing practices would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

File Opens On Some Pc's And Not On Others
Hello. I have a button that is programmed to open a PDF file in a new window. On some pc's this works and on others it doesn't. It comes up saying:
Action canceled
Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be temporarily unavailable.
I've read that it can be caused from having more than one browser type installed on your pc and to make sure that you have IE set as the default. I have set it as the default and it still doesn't work however it works every time on other pc's.
Any ideas why?
Cheers

Url Always Opens New Page
Hi,
I'm having a couple of problems when publishing my flash file.
1) How do I get a url link to open it in the current page instead of opening a new link?
2) When I publish my swf, flash creates an html with it. When I open the html and click on one of the links in the flash, it doesn't do anything. However, when testing my movie it works fine.
Any ideas? Thank you!

URL Opens In New Window, Don't Want That.
Hi all,
At http://www.bartlett-family.net/chris/flash/assignment5/ I have the screen set up so that once the correct password is entered, it will allow you to go to my site.
It all works, the trouble is that the URL to my site opens in a NEW window, which I don't want. I want it to open in the same window. How do I do this?
To get to where you can see it, you'll need the password. It's "WorldBuilder" without the quotes and it IS case sensitive.
Here's the fla file.

External Swf Always Opens Get Url In New Window
Hey, I have created an external swf for a presentaion and it will go on a cd. It has a couple of buttons that will open up different web links...
The problem I am having is that each button will open up "its own" browser window...and if you click each button several times it opens several browser windows. (only the first time you use that button though)
I would like the presentation to only open one browser window...no matter how many times you click, or how many buttons you click.
Can this be done?
Thanks for the help!
This is the code I am using for the buttons now:
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("http://www.webaddress.com","_self");
//End Behavior

Pop-up Window Opens In Firefox, But Not In IE?
Hi,
I am having problems with launching a pop-up window from Flash in IE (I'm working in MX 2004).
I noticed the following comment in the toturial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/chromeless.htm:
"The only glaring problem with this cool effect is that you have to use Internet Explorer. Users with Netscape or Mozilla browsers are out of luck".
I have the exact opposite problem: In Firefox it works perfectly, in IE nothing shows - I tried everything: Internet settings, pop-up blockers, downloading up dates for IE - nothing helps.
I had a similar problem with lauching a full screen window from a Flash file (in a html file). Worked great in Firefox - a no go in IE.
If anyone have an idea what is happening, please let me know.
Thanks!!! - from Marie
(new on the forum and quite new to Flash also)
