Hi Guys

I'm new to this type of thing and have managed to get myself stuck on something most of you wouldn't give a second thought to and am simply asking, can anyone help a newbie out?

In an 800x600 screen size I'm trying to select part of a screen (i.e. 450x600) and get this to print in full A4 size. I've set up a button with the onRelease print command but whenever I print, it gives me a very small printout area.

Can anyone please help with the correct coding on this?

Basically what I want is to print an A4 certificate after viewing a training presenation in Captivate so any help on this coding issue would be very much appreciated so I can get a professional look to my very first project.

Many thanks in advance

Kind regards
Kevin

you might be able to get by using the printjob's printArea parameter when you use the addPage method. i don't think that will print full page, that might be good enough.

to be perfect, you must create a movieclip customized to your printer's pageWidth and pageHeight and containing exactly what you want to print, laid out exactly as you want it to print.
