Can I write a frameLabel with Actionscript?

[Caravaggio]

Need to do some printing.

have _root.myMovie_mc and myMovie_mc has 40 frames.

The user will make choices that will determine what frame myMovie_mc will go to. I want to assign a #p to that frame via actionscript so I don't print 40 frames, just the one I need.

I know there are more advanced printing tools with AS 2.0, but I need to make this work with v6 players.

Thanks!

Howdy... :)

I do not really have good knowledge in printing, but I think the only option you can have is to create your own printable movieClip out of whatever frame you want to print out...
You do have have an option to dynamically create a frame label via ActionScript...

from what I've read about the printing thing, if you are going to print an MC, then it is going to print ALL frames, unless you get place a frame label on the one(s) you would specifically like to print.

I don't suppose you know the AS code for "gotoAndStop(20, label this:"#p")
:D

If you could point me in the direction of "dynamically create a frame label via ActionScript" that could be very interesting, or should I just search the text from you "most useful posts?" ;)

Thanks CB

Well... As I was saying, I am not very familiar with the printing in Flash... and I doubt that there is anything that goes with the printing in my list either... :(

But, I think I have seen a couple of threads that goes with the similar printing issues at the forum... I am not sure if those threads have any solutions provided or not, but I think it's worth to search the forum to find more information...

Well... With my limited knowledge... :)

That's correct... But You need to dynamically create a movieClip that will hold one frame that needs to be printed not the movieclip that holds 40 frames that you specify which frame to print... Know what I mean??? :)
