\*\*I am using the printJob method. This works fine.  
I have worked out a part of my problem.

This is the scenario:  
Job: Touchscreen Kiosk for membership registration for a football club that will produce a datacard with a magstripe on that data gets written to.  
The member has a photo taken and this gets printed on the front of the card with their name and a generated membership number.

Problem:

1. The data written to the magstripe needs to be a variable.
2. This means I can not flatten the whole print image as it looses this info
3. If I do not, the photo is not always printed.

Is this a slution?  
a) Flatten the external swf and dynamic photo as an image before I print. So basically merge the two.  
b) Pull this new image in and ‘sit’ the magstripe varibale above it before print and set {printAsBitmap:false}

Question:  
Is it possible to merge an external swf and dynamic image as one bitmap?  
How!?\*\*
