[Flash] How to print a credit size card with flash

Hello peeps!

I already have a flash form(1280x1024 stagesize fullscreen) that allows the users to type in their name/age and take a photo of their face. I was thinking is it possible to print out a card , for example "credit size CARD" with flash AS3? And of course, is it also possible to generate a unique barcode for every user and print it on the card? Any tutorials/tips out there please? I just started AS3 3 weeks ago so I think I need some sample codes to play with.. :confused:

but how to make it unique?

Just add a Print button and name it anything you like like "printButton" and place this code in the current frame in the main timeline:

PHP Code:

---

printBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, printThis);
function printThis(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
myPrintJob.start(); 
myPrintJob.addPage(card);
myPrintJob.send();
} 


---

Where "card" is the name of the movieclip to be printed.
If you want to print the whole stage, use this in the printThis function:

PHP Code:

---

var bd :BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight, false);
 bd.draw(stage);
 var b:Bitmap = new Bitmap (bd);
 var card:Sprite = new Sprite();
 card.addChild(b);


var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
myPrintJob.start(); 
myPrintJob.addPage(card);
myPrintJob.send(); 


---

And for the "card size", you have to check how to convert the ID or Credit card size (inches) to pixeles
(Government Size 2 5/8" x 3 7/8")

And make the movieclip of the card that size.


Now...for the barcode thing, I've read something about barcodes in this forum, i will be reading about it and let you know.
