printing a movie clip in a movie level...

[nik]

hope that someone can help me...

i'm having trouble printing from a movie clip within a movie level.
i have followed the Macromedia Flash tutorial loading an external .swf (the
information to be printed) into a target movie clip. However, when i make
reference to a movie level, the result is a black print-out. I'm sure its
just a question of putting the right target reference to load the external
.swf but i've hit a brick wall!

I have loaded a movie into _level02 which contains the movie clip
'print_clip'. Within 'print_clip' is an empty movie clip called 'tech_sheet'
to load the external .swf into, in this case 'tech_sheet.swf' (as to the
Macromedia tutorial).

i have set the background colour in the base movie, in _level0, to white as with the movie in _level02 and the external .swf also has a white background.

i have tried setting the load movie target to:

_level2/tech_sheet
_level2/print_clip/tech_sheet
../_level2/tech_sheet

etc..etc.. all to no avail
any ideas??

thanks in advance....

Nic,
I did a little looking and I can't help, I would contact the Mothership on this one. They have more time to look and play with things. Sorry, Regards, Bill

In the beginning the web was without shape and color, and the hype covered the darkness of the net. Then there was a Flash and life came to the web and vision became reality.

thanks for trying...

but have some serious head scratching i solved it.
just to let any one else know if they are interested, if you load the .swf that you want to print into the base movie and control/print it from the movie level where the print icon resides - hey presto - printing in flash from a movie level.

regards...
