printing from a text field...

[decadant]

hi,

I have loaded a text file on a textField (variable "text"), (_level0)
I'd like to make a buton on same level (textField&buton on _level0)

and when the user click the buton,
the text which is loaded on textField will printed out.. :)
(or downloaded as .txt file by the user)

how can I do that? thanks .


Juggling takes my time, ActionScript takes longer...

label the frame that you want to be printable "#p" - that is, if you're not using frame labels already, add a new layer, add a blank keyframe on the frame you want to print out, open the frames panel and type in #p, thus telling that this frame, alone among all others, is printable output. If you want to frame the text in a particular way for printing purposes, this can be outside the normal course of the movie...

on your button add the code:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript: void(0);window.print();");
}

(this will only work with browsers that speak javascript 1.1, which I think is 4+)

To make it a downloadable txt file instead, pass the variable back to asp, create the txt file and link to it, either from your movie or programmatically in asp...

thanks for your reply but I got lost :)
I'm trying to print a text which is in the textfield/textbox ...if I'm not misunderstood your way, it prints all the frame, right? (with images or other objects on it)

I try to print a text which is scrolling in a textfield, its long. :)
if I get it wrong, sorry.

ActionScript takes a lot :(

U could place your text in an empty, otherwise unreachable frame, and label and print that frame.
