Good evening, all.

I’ve got a simple print function that’s mean to print the movie clip “main” (and all the visible contents within, several clips which contain items loaded from various buttons). However, only a few of the movie clips and their contents are showing. This may be one of those easy questions, but can anyone hazard a guess from the current coding why not all clip contents would be visible on the printout?

Thank you,

bprint.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printMe);  
//var printPage:Sprite = new Sprite();  
function printMe(e:MouseEvent):void  
{  
var my\_pj:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

var origWid:Number = main.width;  
main.width = my\_pj.pageWidth;  
main.scaleY = main.scaleX;\*/

if(my\_pj.start())  
{  
try  
{  
my\_pj.addPage(main)  
}  
catch(e:Error)  
{  
main.questionField\_txt.text = “There is something wrong with your printer.”;  
}  
my\_pj.send();  
}  
else  
{  
my\_pj = null;  
}

}
