Hello, this is a post after having checked everywhere!
Here is my FLA: fax_viewer3.fla (http://www.teamresolution.com/test/fax_viewer3.fla)
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on printing multiple pages of information. I have an animation where I want to give my user the ability to print a single page or a group of pages. (my animation is acting as a fax viewer)
As of right now it works great on printing single pages...
I just print the instance of the movie clip that I loaded my fax image into.
Attached To My Print Button:
print(_root.instanceWhichHasMySinglePage, "bmax")
But when I want to print many pages at once (whose quantity changes all the time) I am out of luck. I have looked literally everywhere, books, flashkit, here, mx help, macromedia.com. OH GOD MAKE THE INSANITY STOP!!!
As you might have guessed I am aware that changing out the instance value in a loop is an option, but then that print dialogue box keeps comming up for every page.
An idea I was playing with:
I read about putting "#p" on frames that I wanted to print, is their anyway to dynamically create frames, name them #p, load an instance in them, and then once everything is all good and done print all of those frames?
lol, piece of cake eh? jk. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, a multimedia student working his intranet dev summer job.
