Initiating a print from within a movie

Glyn Griffiths · 03-28-2001, 12:45 PM

Is it possible to set up a button within a movie that will send a text document to the viewers printer when it is clicked?

How can I code such a button?

Many thanks.

Use GetURL action:

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

or just out thius in the button:::

on (release) {
if ($version !="") {
print ("text","bframe");
}
}

text is the name of you file ok....

version is to make sure the person as an up todate player that can print...........

bframe prints what ever is on that frame and that frame only.....the frame is used for the bounding box....
bmovie can be used to print on the main time line where the movie size is used as the bounding box, bmax uses all frames in the main timeline and uses the max bounding box.
