remembering printer settings

[pchan]

I'm printing multiple copies within my flash movie They print out fine but the print dialogue box appears every time it prints. Is there a way to do it so that it appears for the first copy and then the other copies use the same settings?

I think this can be adjusted from the widows not from flash

oh I see, well that's not a major isue I guess but I have another problem that I suspect is related.

I'm creating randomized bingo grids that are automatically printed. The program generates a random grid then uses printNum to print out the page then re-randomizes the grid and prints again. This is done in a simple for loop that repeats according to a number the user has input.

My problem is this: I end up with copies of only the last grid generated. Now I've made sure that my randomize function works, and I've established that each grid is different before printNum is called, so I think the problem is that the information isn't sent from flash to the printer until ok has been clicked on the print dialogue box, so by the time the user has reacted to that flash has already been through the for loop, the user clicks ok on the dialogue box and the information contained in the frame at that time is printed multiple times. Any ideas how to get around this?

I had an idea that instead of using the same frame for each bingo grid I could perhaps dynamically create the appropriate no. of frames each containing a different bingo grid and then just call printNum once which would solve both my problems but I have no idea how I would do this.
