Re: [Flashcoders] Printing filters from the Flash Player
Hi Glen,
This is quite similar to what we did. We first created a BitmapData of the
scene and then printed that. Even posted about it :-)
http://techblog.floorplanner.com/2008/10/22/printing-and-big-bitmaps/ But it
feels like there should be an easier way...

Hi,
Here is some AS2 code that I wrote to do this - the _toPrint is a
MovieClip containing lots of stuff with filters on. There is scaling too -
depending on whether the user has chosen portrait or landscape - for later
AS3 code, I worked out the orientation and rotated the printed image - not
bitmapped though...
The whole lot is rendered to a Bitmap, then printed.
Hope this helps. I may even get round to blogging it one day :)

Have you tried printAsBitmap? I found that was the only way to get some
stuff to print the same way it was displayed, even when filters weren't
involved (like some hand-drawn shadows using transparent fills).
My project was written in AS2; I don't know whether the implications are
different for code running in AVM2.

Nearly identical - you'd have to change _width to width, use the .graphics
of a MC, etc.

Hi,
Here is some AS2 code that I wrote to do this - the _toPrint is a
MovieClip containing lots of stuff with filters on. There is scaling
too - depending on whether the user has chosen portrait or landscape -
for later AS3 code, I worked out the orientation and rotated the printed

The whole lot is rendered to a Bitmap, then printed.
Hope this helps. I may even get round to blogging it one day :)
