Printing one frame only?
Hi
Is it possible to target just one frame of a movie clip using:
on (release) {
print("print_mc", "bmovie");
}
print_mc is a movie clip containing many frames all labeled #p, so that they will be printed. What if I only wanted to target one frame to be printed, is that possible?
Thanks in advance

I beleive you can set frame labels dynamically if using as3, but I still haven't gotten into that yet... here's a similar post

There may be other workarounds though, can you explain what this is for? For example you could have one movieclip offstage then copy your frames into it in a long list as called upon, then just print that mc

Thanks for the reply.
A client has asked me to make an online, flash version of his brochure.
On the top of each page, there are 2 buttons. 'Print all' and 'Print this page'.
The way it's working so far is that there is one mc that contains each page of the brochure on a separate frame, I will print them like this:
on (release) {
print("printAll_mc", "bmovie");
}
As for printing individual pages, I've started creating each page as a separate mc, so they can be targeted separately, for example:
on (release) {
print("printPage2_mc", "bmovie");
}
This is working fine, but as there are 100's of pages it's gonna be a long boring task, also each instance of the 'Print this page' button will have to have an edited actionscript to point to the correct page. Was hoping there was a better way?
