Print frames in Canvas html 5.0

Question

I could not find the code for it, is it possible to define a certain frame or an array of frames in Animate CC Canvas html 5.0? If so, what is the code?Many thanks.

Many thanks. I will use it in my upcoming first Canvas/JS project. By the way, just to be sure, the code you have suggested can be used as a CreateJS action inside an animate CC frame?Yes, both chunks of code should work from the timeline. I just this as a test:this.stop();print_voucher();function print_voucher() { var win = window.open(); win.document.write("

"); win.print(); //win.location.reload();}The reload line was causing the new window to try to print again. The window that it created and set the source of literally had a png in it that I could drag to my desktop.

Years later, someone asked me about this, and I find that my code didn't work. The reason it failed is because popup blockers prevent it from working. It can work if you give the popup permission, but another solution is to make it work from a user action.

Here is a version where a Button with a name of 'go' is used to trigger the print dialog:

this.stop();
this.go.addEventListener("click", print_voucher);
//print_voucher();
function print_voucher() {
var win = window.open();
win.document.write("<br><img src='" + canvas.toDataURL() + "'/>");
win.print();
//win.location.reload();
}

");win.print();//win.location.reload();}
