hi guys,

i got a flash + OSX question, maybe someone can help me,  
i’m working on a Adobe Flash (Flash version 9, actionScript 3) project, running on a MacOS X 10.4, on a core2duo iMac, it is connected to a printer (Xerox Phaser 6360).

- the flash will be displayed in full screen.
- it is a “create your own postcard- &- print it out” flash-based multimedia project.
- so Flash will need to print stuff.

issue is:

- everytime when something need to be printed, macOS X will prompt a “Print Box” pop-up window say Cancel or Print (see my jpeg below).
- so it might overlap on top of my Flash project, which is running full screen (so having the pop-up window overlapping my flash is no good).

so i need a solution to avoid this, any idea?  
what i can think of are:  
A- is there a way to avoid/by-pass this step? meaning a way not to show this?  
or  
B- or is there a shareware/way to “auto-click RETURN button” so even this screen appear it will be “auto-click” away.  
or …C?

i knew there is a Plug-in (or Xtra) for Macromedia Director called: Print-o-matic,  
the URL is:  
[http://www.printomatic.com/products.cfm](http://www.printomatic.com/products.cfm)  
it work well on the Director on Mac OS7, but they only made it for Director & Authorware, not Flash ☹  
do you know something similar for Flash?

this is the pop-up Print Box window (before printing):

about the printer URL:  
[High speed color for high volume printing - Phaser 6360](http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6360/enus.html)

hope i’m able to get a solution here.  
thanks guys,

cheers,
