Hi Carl,


You can also use FSCommand.  On your HTML page, put a JavaScript function

that works something like this:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


<!--


function moduleone_DoFSCommand(command, args)

{

        if ( command == "print" )

        {

        	window.print();

        }


}


//-->


</SCRIPT>


And in your Flash movie, put a button onstage with this action:


FS Command ("print", "")


And dat oughtta do it


I'm lifting source code from a project we did a few months ago, and this

method has been working so far without any probs.


Cheers!


Hal
