MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-USING FLASH Use Manual page 544

To designate printable frames:
1. Open or make active the SWF file that you want to publish.
2.
Select the desired frame in the Timeline that you want to make printable and add
a keyframe.
3. In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), enter #p in the Label text box to specify
the frame as printable.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each frame you want to designate as printable.
If you have multiple #p labels in your document, you might receive an Output window
message when you test or publish your SWF file that indicates that the document
contains duplicate frame labels. You can ignore the message if the duplicate labels
are all #p labels.
To control what users can print, remember the following items as you set up documents and
movie clips for printing:
Adjust the page layout in any frames that you designate as printable to match the desired
printed output. Using Flash Player, you can print all shapes, symbols, bitmaps, text
blocks, and text fields. Levels in a SWF file are not composited on print output.
The Flash Player printer driver uses the HTML settings for dimension, scale, and
alignment in the Publish Settings dialog box. Use these settings to control the print layout.
The selected frames print as they appear in the movie clip symbol. You can let users print
a movie clip that is not visible in a browser by setting the movie clip's
to using the Actions panel. Changing the property of a movie clip with the Set
false
Property action, tweening, or any transformation tool does not affect how a movie
clip prints.
For a movie clip to be printable, it must be on the Stage or workspace and it must be given
an instance name.
All elements must be fully loaded to print. You can use the movie clip
property to check whether the printable content is loaded. For more information, see
