If anyone can help me, or has seen this problem before I would be a very happy person! I built a custom print feature for an interactive map that prints the current area of the map you are viewing. The feature works perfectly on a Mac, and everything prints out great. Yet when I try and print on a PC the main area of the map I am printing prints out black.

I have literally tried everything, swapping the MC to the highest possible depth before it prints and swapping it back after. I tried removing all masking to see if it would print. I tried printing the clips embedded within \_level0 that contain the map, and even the MC’s inside of those. All of this to no avail though. Which leads me here to see if anyone has run into a similar problem and found a potential solution.

The code I used for printing is below (thisLevel is set to the \_root of the movie for preloader purposes, so just think of that as \_root):

```auto
printCurrent = function(){
    var mapPrint:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
    var myPrintSuccess:Boolean = mapPrint.start();
    if(myPrintSuccess{
        if(mapPrint.orientation == "landscape"){
            trace("landscape");
            mapPrint.addPage(thisLevel,{xMin:11,xMax:739,yMin:63,yMax:523});
            mapPrint.send();
        }
        else if(mapPrint.orientation == "portrait"){
            trace("portrait");
            thisLevel._rotation = 90; //rotates map to print properly in portrait
            mapPrint.addPage(thisLevel,{xMin:11,xMax:739,yMin:63,yMax:523});
            mapPrint.send();
            thisLevel._rotation = 0;
        }
    }
    delete mapPrint;
}

```
