Because you are spooling a print job to the user's operating system between your calls to
and
PrintJob.start()
temporarily affect the Flash Player internal view of onscreen Flash content, you should implement
print-specific activities only between your calls to
For example, the Flash content should not interact with the user between
and
PrintJob.send()
add pages to the print job, and send the print job to the printer.
To build a print job:
Create an instance of the print job object:
1.
Start the print job and display the print dialog box for the operating system:
2.
PrintJob.start()

The following example shows ActionScript that creates a print job for a button:
myButton.onRelease = function()
{
var my_pj = new PrintJob();
var myResult = my_pj.start();
if(myResult){
myResult = my_pj.addPage (0, {xMin : 0, xMax: 400, yMin: 0,
yMax: 400});
myResult = my_pj.addPage ("myMovieClip", {xMin : 0, xMax: 400,
yMin: 400, yMax: 800},{printAsBitmap:true}, 1);
myResult = my_pj.addPage (1, null,{printAsBitmap:false}, 2);
myResult = my_pj.addPage (0);
my_pj.send();
}
delete my_pj;
}
Only one print job can run at any given time. A second print job cannot be created until one of
the following events has happened with the previous print job:
•
The print job was entirely successful and
•
The PrintJob.start()
•
The PrintJob.addPage()
•
