The only crazy thing I can think to do is take a BitmapData snapshot of the swf (which can maintain 32bit transparency) from within Flash, and then save the image data as an transparent PNG, and recombine the image / other layers as appropriate to print.
Something like: http://designreviver.com/tutorials/actionscript-3-jpeg-encoder-revealed-savi ng-images-from-flash/ (PNG version) http://www.quietless.com/kitchen/upload-bitmapdata-snapshot-to-server-in-as3 / But using PNG, and pushing the resultant image into the page via AJAX to print and the like. As I said, pretty crazy.... (but hey it's Monday and I live in Australia - we are always a bit crazy down here) Aran From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brad Swords Sent: Monday, 15 December 2008 5:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Printing a .swf embedded w/ wmode transparent Yeah, I am screwed...just trying to save a project.

Every browser handles the wmode=transparent (+ printing) in a different way, so I would be very surprised if you found a cross-browser solution that works. I have a hard enough time trying to get a normal web page printing as it should ! The print job class in Flash will not render anything outside of the swf, so you would need to have whatever content you wanted to print within the swf (not behind in the HTML page) Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of beez Sent: Monday, 15 December 2008 4:47 PM To: SWFObject Subject: Re: Printing a .swf embedded w/ wmode transparent I have a label printing app that I have embedded into HTML w/ wmode transparent. I am printing using JavaScript to a div containing the .swf...no problems. Does anyone know how to print from html using wmode tranparent: in IE the the .swf background shows up and in Firefox nothing shows up. Also does anyone know a way to print in Flash w/ out a background??? I have already tried printJob in Flash.
