Print all Feature

[vidablue]

Hello,

I have a map that has been entirely created in Flash. The Flash map will display through a SWF Object in an HTML page (thanks to the fabtastic advice from Bodyvisual).

However, he area that the map will play in is a smaller resolution than the size of the actual map. For example, the user might be able to see the United States through the frame, but they're not able to see all of the other countries because of the limited space.

I would like to allow users to be able to print the entire view with all the content of the map (not just the limited view playing through the html page). Anyone know how I might be able to do something like this? Thanks.

When you print you can rescale/reposition your movieclip so it shows all the content you want printed, and then specify a region to the print object in this scaled movieclip to print. Afterwards you can restore the old scaling / positioning.

The user never notices, because printing happens in a single frame, so while you're doing all this, the screen doesn't update.

That doesn't really sound like the solution i'm looking for. I want the user to simply hit a print control button. That print control would print out the entire Flash map. I wouldn't want the user to have to specify anything. Currently, if the user clicks print, it simply would print a defualt job, which would be printing the entire plage, (the limited flash section and the html page the flash is inside).

Howdy and Welcome... :)

To me, what you have said in your first post and the second post is totally different, and jsebrech answered your first post and I'll be using the same method if I were to that...

I don't quite understand your second post though... Are you simply trying to print the Flash portion not the whole HTML page??? If that is the case, you'd need to create the Print button within the Flash that will print out the Flash map you want to print out...
