Why is this printing in flash so hard??
So heres the problem, in the timeline i have certain places where i allow the user to print whats on the screen.
Ive treid using the #p label on the frames but if there is more than one label it prints all the frames with that label.
Again i need only what on the screen to print at any given time!!
Any assiantance is helpful ASAP

No can do!!
The scene allows the user to change the color of an object, if i move to a different scene i cant carry over the color properties!!

oh, that sucks. Hrmm… AH! I got it. Just use Javascript to print the page. That will print whatever is in the Flash window @ the time!

Ok now!
Here is the Javascript that you need to place inside your HTML file.
```php
```
Here is the action you need to put inside your MC.
```php
on(release) {
GetURL ("javascript:printMe()");
}
```
What this will do is print the HTML page and accordingly the Flash that’s on the page.
I hope this works out for you.

You’ve go something coded wrong in your project. Can you send it to me in e-mail or something? Try working on a blank stage and trying it.
