Re: [Flashcoders] print function in AS2
Hi Maurice, I highly recommend you to take a look on PrintJob class. It will give you much more control and make your life easier. I'm not sure, but I remember that was an issue with the print function and layer-masks (and a lot of other stuff too). But I don't know how complicated will be for you debug and test this. A simple and fast solution would be generate a Bitmap of the screen (like a print-screen) before printing. And then you just dispose the object. I hope this helps you to figure out an solution.

[Flashcoders] How to obtain html attributes from instanced movieclip
Hello list, I'm loading a HTML file into a textarea. I see it and everything works just fine. I need to do something like this: img src='imgViewer' id='testmc' *file='miImageFile.jpg'*/ when mi imgViewer class is instanced I get a trace in the constructor, so the class is well instanced. But is there any way to retrieve that file attribute?? Why if I do trace(this.id) from the class I can't get it? I've tried with intervals also because of the load time, but even when it is full loaded I can't access it. any other idea?? thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] converting/printing swf to eps
Ok, sounds good, but I don't see clearly how to convert my already drawn eps/whatever into commands so can rewrite a svg an then save it. I can make instructions for writing the svg, but I have the drawings pre made. GaB Ron Wheeler wrote: You can send an XML file of drawing instructions to the server and use XSLT to do anything that you want. a) You can convert it to SVG or EPS. b) You can convert it to your own vector format c) You can hold onto it as an XML and redraw it in your Flash program later d) You can convert it to a raster image e) You can do all of the above and more.

Re: [Flashcoders] wait or sleep
you don't need a wait, the way you are doing its correct, except for the
order
mclip.onLoad()
{
continue();
}
mclip.loadMovie();
if you end your code right after the loadmovie it will continue on the
onLoad.
cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] standalone+amfphp doesn't work
thanks Cosmin, I have F8. The problem you could be, BUT, all the time it refers to loading movies between movies. My main movie loads the internal movies, but I can't connect with amfphp.
