Hi all,

I need to create a button, or at least a movie clip that functions like a button that will print a page when clicked. Ideally I would like to have the button as part of the flash application, which will be online embedded into a web page as a .swf. on click the print page dialog box will appear, and the user will be able to print out the web page. What is the best way to code this?

ActionScript

sure. the swf's main timeline is a movieclip, so if you want to print everything that's on the swf stage, use the printjob() class to print the main timeline.

thanks, interesting. Well, I really only need to print information contained in the .swf. Can I do that, if the .swf is in a web page?

flash can't print a web page by itself. it can print objects in the swf.
