my problem is that I don’t understand/care why anyone would want to print out a flash site in the first place… so it is impeding my ability to find the answer to this problem.
all i want to do is be able to let my client print their website out. the whole thing, page by freaking “page” (or in this case content area). The problem is that it’s dynamic, has between 4 and 6 levels per content area, dynamically loading html text (css formatted) with jpgs in <img> tags.
The clients are using Firefox on Mac and report that blank pages print out when they use the print function of Firefox. When I print from Firefox on my PC it looks great. In fact - much better than IE because it doesn’t squash the site to fit it on the page.
I can’t use the Print in the context menu because 1. it only prints the bottom level vectors, 2. can’t guarantee the Mac people have right-click
I have read up on print(), printjob(), printasBitmap() and they all target levels or mc’s.
is there a way for this to happen? is there a way to push a screen capture into the clipboard and print that? actionscript?
I guess I never noticed or cared that this was an issue in Flash, but now that I am seeing it, it is rather alarming that it is so complicated to print from Flash.
Help?
