AS3 Printing help

Hey all!

ok back at another issues in as3 printing :yikes:

Code:

---


//Function to print entire screen
function printFunction(event:MouseEvent):void
{
    var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
    var oldScaleX:Number = root.scaleX;
    var oldScaleY:Number = root.scaleY;
 
    //Start the print job
    myPrintJob.start();
 
    //Figure out the new scale
    var newScaleX:Number = myPrintJob.paperWidth/root.width;
    var newScaleY:Number = myPrintJob.paperHeight/root.height;

    //Shrink in both the X and Y directions by the same amount (keep the same ratio)
    if(newScaleX < newScaleY)
        newScaleY = newScaleX;
    else
        newScaleX = newScaleY;
 
    root.scaleX = newScaleX;
    root.scaleY = newScaleY;
         
    //Print the page
    myPrintJob.addPage(Sprite(root));
    myPrintJob.send();
   
    //Reset the scale to the old values
    root.scaleX = oldScaleX;
    root.scaleY = oldScaleY;
}

I cant seem to find anything thats really helpful with this. When i click cancel on the print dialog box, i get error below and it blanks out my swf. :scared:
any help is greatly appreciated. ALL I am trying to do is print the entire screen. i dont care at this moment about orientation.

Code:

bump anyone??

Is your page a Sprite?

no... my page isnt a Sprite. How would i make it so? is that the reason why i am having trouble with the cancel button?

I need help badly, i am having this exact same issue, does anyone knows whats happening?

please has anybody accomplished this?

Change myPrintJob.addPage(Sprite(root)); to myPrintJob.addPage(MovieClip(root));

Hi thanks for your reply, being really desperate about this.

Well i try that, and it drew another movie clip, and blanked out my main video.

i'm having a problem, where i developed an app that uses the webcam, adds an image and then takes a picture, well, i implemented textbook style the printjob, and well everytime after printing my swf goes blank.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3...rint-or-cancel

But now i have been continuing testing, and i found out, that if i print from another application and then comeback, my video stream from the webcam is blank, this has no sense at all, since i am printing from another app.

What is going on here i mean, this must be a flash player issue right.

I need help badly with this.
