print current frame only?

[glenn_australia]

How can I create that button that will let the user print ONLY the current frame that they are on?

I've created a print button, but when it's clicked the printer wants to print out all 304 frames!!

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

Printing in Flash is quite complex, because it's not WYSIWYG. Try putting a bounding box on a layer and name the frame #b. Then name each layer of the frame you want to print #p. It should work.

OK.. that sounds like a pretty major pain considering I want the user to be able to print any one of over 50 frames!

So are you saying there is no actionscript that will just print everything in the current frame?

If worse comes to worse I suppose I'll try it as you suggest. So would I just create a rectangle that is the same size of the movie and then everythign within it will print?

Thanks for you help!

I'm not sure...

There is almost no support from Macromedia on the topic and the tutorial I have seen on the subject are way too simple to be really helpful.

But I seen one on ultrashock

printing in Flash 5

It helped me with the basic.
