That's it. Thanks Anthony! Wendy -Original Message- From: Anthony Pace in this instance I was able to fix it by changing "none" to "normal" in your linestyle. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Yes. Paste this code into a new AS2 file:
---
this.createEmptyMovieClip("test_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
test_mc.lineStyle(15, 0xff, 100, true, "none", "round", "miter", 1);
test_mc.moveTo(15, 15);
test_mc.lineTo(15, 222);
test_mc.lineTo(25, 222);
test_mc.lineTo(25, 15);
test_mc.lineTo(25, 222);
test_mc.lineTo(30, 222);
test_mc.lineTo(30, 15);
var printJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
if (printJob.start())
{
if(printJob.addPage(test_mc, null,{printAsBitmap:true}, 1))
printJob.send();
}
delete printJob;

On screen, you'll see some overlapping red lines. But on the printed page,
you'll see three thin vertical lines separated by white space, along with a
horizontal line which connects the bottoms of the three other lines.
Printing to a pdf gives the same results.
Putting in the xMin, xMax... options in the addPage() function instead of
'null' isn't helping.

[Flashcoders] Problem Printing Lines
I've got a paint application which uses Flash 9/AS2's moveTo() and lineTo()
functions to draw lines on a canvas. Works great.
The problem is printing. Using PrintJob, the lines don't appear on the
printed page as they do on screen. Most noticeably, if I draw a bunch of
lines to create a filled shape, the printout will show random holes in the
filled shape, as if the lines weren't completely overlapping. Which they
are. Honest.
Adding the {printAsBitmap:true} option to the printJob.addPage() function
seems to help slightly, but it's not a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Flashcoders] Thoughts on new features in CS4
I was reading this blog post: http://visualrinse.com/2009/01/05/2008-in-review-flash-platform-shortcomings / And one of the commenters wrote, "New features in Flash Player 10 - e.g. 3D, bones and hardware acceleration - were all a massive let down and basically useless." I haven't downloaded CS4 yet, but I was wondering if other people felt the same way, and why (or why not).

You can get the 'lasttimestamp' property if you're using Burak's FLV Injector, but an flv will sometimes stop before reaching this time, so checking for that value won't work. Flvs also have a built in 'duration' property, but I've never seen an flv actually reach that time. The NetStream.Play.Stop event would seem to be a good candidate, but it sometimes gets fired randomly if you're scrubbing through a video, so that alone won't always work either. My kludgy solution is to put some code in a NetStream.Play.Stop event that sees if the video is less than 0.5 seconds from 'lasttimestamp'. It would be nice if NetStream.Play.Complete worked for progressive video. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] FLV Buffering Weirdness with Flash CS3 and AS3
Hi,
I want to display a buffering message whenever a progressively downloaded
flv is buffering. According to the docs, this should be possible.
When the NetStream.Buffer.Empty event is fired, the swf displays some kind
of buffering message to the user.
When the NetStream.Buffer.Full event is fired, the swf removes the buffering
message.
But in practice this never quite works, when testing both locally and from a
server. Here's some sample code in a class for handling NetStream events:
private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
switch (event.info.code)
{
case "NetStream.Play.Start":
trace("NetStream.Play.Start, currentTime is:", stream.time);
break;
case "NetStream.Buffer.Empty":
trace("NetStream.Buffer.Empty, currentTime is:", stream.time);
break;
case "NetStream.Buffer.Full":
trace("NetStream.Buffer.Full, currentTime is:", stream.time);
break;
}
}
And here's what appears in the output window when the video is loaded:
NetStream.Play.Start, currentTime is: 0
NetStream.Buffer.Empty, currentTime is: 0.94
NetStream.Buffer.Full, currentTime is: 0.94
One problem is that Buffer.Empty is fired long after the video starts
playing. A different result occurs by changing the default bufferTime
setting from 0.1 seconds to something longer. If the bufferTime is five
seconds, the output window shows this:
NetStream.Play.Start, currentTime is: 0
NetStream.Buffer.Full, currentTime is: 1.044
Shouldn't Buffer.Full fire before the video starts playing? In all the tests
I've done, this event fires between half a second to one second after the
video has started. And why does changing the bufferTime cause the
Buffer.Empty event to not fire at all?
TIA for any insight.
Wendy
