Okay.... I have the following code:
public class Coupons extends Sprite {
public var mainMovieClip:MovieClip;
public var printMovieClip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
.....
public function printCoupons(ev:Event) {
// we set the zoom to 100%
myPDF.setDisplayMode ( Display.REAL );
bytes.writeObject(mainMovieClip);
bytes.position = 0;
printMovieClip = bytes.readObject();
printMovieClip.removeChild(printBtn);
printMovieClip.scaleX = .9;
printMovieClip.scaleY = .9;
// we add a page
myPDF.addPage();
myPDF.addImage(printMovieClip);
When I click the print button, I am receiving an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.
at Coupons/printCoupons()
I don't understand what the null object is. When I remove the
attempted clone of the object, the export to PDF works great, but I
don't want the scale to effect the actual canvas.
Thanks for any help.
Kevin
