Hi, these are my problems with Flash 5 printing:
How to print objects within boundary box?
My movie size is 400px X 400px. On my main timeline, I have 5 layers and each layer has only one frame. (this is my test file, and I’m using it to try to understand how to print in Flash 5).
One of the layers contain movie 200 X 200, and its first frame (there is only one) is lableled with #b.
Other frames are just random boxes, some of them are inside 200x200, some of them outside, and some of them going all over, even off the stage.
On my print I want to get only what is inside of the boundary box (200 x 200).
To print I’m using button with code:
on (release) {
printNum (0, “bmovie”);
}
I tried many combination of “bmovie”, “bmax”, but nothing works, usually I got all objects downsized or enlarged to fit letter size page. Also, bigger boxes (bigger than movie size) are printed too.
I checked Macromedia website, books, … tried to follow what they say about this, but nothing works. Actually, I got feeling that PrintNum doesn’t care for my #b label at all.
Second question:
How to print something in its original size. I want my box printed 200px x 200px on the paper, not enlarged or downsized to fit paper.
Is there a way to solve these problems?
I tried to post some questions on Macromedia Forums, didn’t get any response and you are my last hope. My whole project is on hold because of this. After I do this, I’m DONE with flash. At least until Macromedia come up with decent software. This is not first time that I’m stuck with these minor things like printing.
Thanks…
