    Having read back through the forum, has anybody solved the apparent problem of variables in text boxes not printing when using the print: or printAsBitmap: URL

    Macromedia says they do:-

    "if i test the flashcalc <<Flash 4 samples>> movie, do some calculation that displays a result,
    then print from flash,
    i get it to print ok..."
    Jose m (Developer Support Network) Macromedia.com

    I have never got it to work..... and my conclusion was that
    "if ,on printing, the print Sdk starts the playhead from Frame1 to check for Labled print frames, might this be erazing the data ?
    I was presuming Not, otherwise the "flashcalc" version would not print its current
    data........"

    My variables are created by the user filling in a form, but every time i go to printout, no variables, everything else,
    but no variables.
    the variables are there, a simple gotoframe(x) shows them,

    Is there an answer ???, or am i missing something obvious,

    Sorted it..... I was right, the print function works from frame 1 and looks
    for all print lables thereby
    erazing/resetting all variables, your variables/buttons, in fact anything
    that the user can alter must be in existance
    on the first frame of the timeline.........

    Why oh why isnt this in any of the tutorials/documentation

    AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH
