I have no idea why you see that output. I'll ask internally From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of steve_kellogg_davita Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 11:08 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Memory Thrashing during PRINT operations.
THANKS for your response. Our swf is called main.swf.. There aren't any modules in my app (yet), so it's just one big SWF. I SUSPECT that it's loading, and unloading resources in the SWF (images, or something?) as needed to keep the movie running. Just to be clear, there aren't ANY images in the document pages that I'm trying to print. Does that make ANY sense from a Flash runtime perspective?
