Dear Flashcoders,
I need to find a solution to the said problem:
I have an swf with a "printAll" function that prints out the content of a
multiple frames mc that loads at runtime. Since the Flash.PrintJob class has a
built in 15 second Timeout between every subsequent
PrintJob.start()/PrintJob.addPage()/PrintJob,send() I get Timeout Errors when
the spooling of the pages takes to long. I need to find a way to catch this
error and at least reset my swf (I do some scaling to fit to the Print size and
reset that later on). Right now I only catch Errors when the user cancels the
print job or another error occurs on printing but not the Timeout. Anyway,
here's what I tried to date:
///___________________
var counter=1;
var myPrintJob:PrintJob;
var currFrame;
var options:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
options.printAsBitmap = false;
function printHandler(event:MouseEvent)
{
counter=0;
myPrintJob=new PrintJob();
var printTrigger=event.target.name;
currFrame=ref.currentFrame;
reset_mc();
//alles drucken
if (printTrigger=="print_btn")
{
for (var i=1;i<=ref.totalFrames;i++)
{
dispatchEvent(new Event("addNewPage"));
}
}
}
function OnAddNewPage(e:Event)
{
try
{
counter++;
if(counter==1)
{
trace("started")
myPrintJob.start();
}
//setze Printbreite
if (ref.width>myPrintJob.paperWidth)
{
ref.width=myPrintJob.paperWidth;
ref.scaleY=ref.scaleX;
}
trace("adding "+counter)
ref.gotoAndStop(counter);
myPrintJob.addPage(ref,null,options);
if(counter==ref.totalFrames)
{
trace("sent")
myPrintJob.send();
myPrintJob=null;
//mc zurücksetzen
reset_mc();
}
}
catch(error:Error)
{
//mc zurücksetzen
trace("print error: "+error);
myPrintJob=null;
reset_mc();
return;
}
catch(e:ScriptTimeoutError)
{
// ScriptTimeoutError: Error #1502: A script has executed for
longer than 15 seconds
trace("Timeout: "+e);
reset_mc();
myPrintJob=null;
return;
}
}
function reset_mc()
{
//mc zurücksetzen
//trace("resetting");
}
///_________________________
Thanks for any input on this....
