Hi Everyone!

I've got an swf with transparent png's in it. In flash it looks perfect, put when I print it, I get black areas wherever the transparency is supposed to be. I see all kinds of articles about importing with transparency into flash, and i can see that it works, it's just the printing that isn't. Can someone point me in the right direction? I've used the property tab on the library asset to change it to gif/png lossless, and that's not helping. I'm finding it frustrating that I can see what I want on the screen, but i'm not able to print what i see. I'm using Flash 8.

Thanks a million,

-Dave

i figured this out by adding {printAsBitmap:true} to the printjob code. however, i've lost my drop shadows, so if anyone knows how to get around that, that would be great!

thanks,

dave
