Re: FLASH: Creating a print preview

[DRMRLPLS]

If your print command is in a button action why not just direct the playhead 

to another frame as soon as the print command is executed.  This way it 

prints the movie clip that is onscreen and then jumps back to a  menu or 

something else.

<< I am printing forms from Flash and would like to give the users a "print

 "Get URL ("print:", window="/insInvoice")

 

 command to print the document.  I can easily make the invoice instance

 appear on the screen at the same time the print dialog comes up and this

 gives the user the preview I am shooting for.  The problem is that it is

 still there after the user presses "ok" or "cancel" within the print dialog.

 I know that I could just say, "Click on the invoice to remove it" and put an

 invisible button over it, but ideally the previewed document would go away

 automatically as soon as the print dialog is clicked.

 

 I don't see any way around this, but have been amazed at the ingenuity of

 this group in solving "impossible" problems, so decided to post anyway.
