Printing movies
You can print movie content to review it and mark changes, to distribute edits to a team, to make
handouts from a presentation, or to see your work on paper. You can print a movie while in
authoring mode in several ways. You can print an image of the Stage in standard or storyboard
format, the Score, the cast member number and contents of text cast members in the Cast
window, all scripts or a range of scripts (movie, cast, Score, and sprite scripts), the comments in
the Markers window, the Cast window artwork, or the entire Cast window.
Note: Using Cast Text on the Print pop-up menu, you can print a table of text cast members at the resolution of
your printer.
You can also use Lingo to control printing. See printFrom in the Lingo Dictionary.
