And who said a little bitching gets us no where. I am not sure what saved the b/w issue because it prints in color now fine. So it was a simple fix. I just duplicated the MC I wanted to print scaled it down and presto it worked!

Being technical is what this list is all about. First off, I suggest printing a movieclip and not the stage. So, put your card into the movieclip and specify that as the target instead of the root. Next, the reason you're getting something large is because of how Flash prints pixels. You're printing 675x425. At 72dpi, that's going to be 9.4x5.9 inches. If you put your card into a movieclip you can scale down your movieclip prior to printing. Important to note that even if you scale it down, PrintJob.addPage() wants you to pass it the original width and height of the movieclip prior to scaling even though it will print the scaled version. Hopefully this will solve your skewing issue, as well. I'm not entirely sure why you're only getting black and white unless some preference for your printer on the Print Dialog window is defaulting to print only black and white (draft perhaps). You can save yourself ink and paper by printing to a Microsoft Document Image file (.mdi) and preview your results there (if you're on Windows). When the print dialog opens, choose Microsoft Office Document Image Writer as your printer. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
