hi,

i learned how that.  code in actionscript files pretty stratght forward.  use flash 8 actionscript2.

 

here's did.  script inserted on main timeline  made movieclip button _over, _up, _down, , _quit labels.  resr actionscript text.

 

stop();

// movieclip acting button
var printed:boolean = false;
printbtn.onrollover = function() {
printbtn.gotoandstop("_over");
};
printbtn.onrollout = function() {
if (!printed) {
  printbtn.gotoandplay("_quit");
}
};
printbtn.onreleaseoutside = function() {
if (!printed) {
  printbtn.gotoandplay("_quit");
}
};
printbtn.onpress = function() {
printbtn.gotoandstop("_down");
};
printbtn.onrelease = function() {
printed = true;
printbtn.gotoandstop("_up");

 

 

// create printjob object  // starts actionscript text

var my_pj:printjob = new printjob();
// display print dialog box, initiate print job
// if start returns successfully.
if (my_pj.start()) {
  // use variable track successful calls addpage
  var pagestoprint:number = 0;
  // add specified area print job
  // repeat once each page printed

// "page" name of movieclip print- use quotes
  if (my_pj.addpage("page")) {
   pagestoprint++;
  }
  /*  if (my_pj.addpage([params])) {
  pagestoprint++;
  }
  if (my_pj.addpage([params])) {
  pagestoprint++;
  }
  */
  // send pages spooler printer, if 1 or more
  // calls addpage() successful. should check successful
  // calls start() , addpage() before calling send().
  if (pagestoprint>0) {
   my_pj.send();
   // print page(s)
  }
}
// clean up          
delete my_pj;
// delete object
};

 

 

hope helps.
