Description
Action; prints the target
movie clip as a bitmap. Use the printAsBitmap
action to print movies that contain frames with objects that use transparency or color effects. The printAsBitmap
action prints at the highest available resolution of the printer in order to maintain as much definition and quality as possible.
If your movie does not contain alpha transparencies or color effects, it is recommended that you use the print
action for better quality results.
By default, the print area is determined by the Stage size of the loaded movie. The movie does not inherit the main movie's Stage size. You can control the print area by specifying the bmovie
, bmax
, or bframe
parameters.
All of the printable elements in a movie must be fully loaded before printing can begin.
The Flash Player printing feature supports PostScript and non-PostScript printers. Non-PostScript printers convert vectors to bitmaps.
