Hi guys,

Am using the new PrintJob(),.addPage(),.send() way of printing a large movie (760 x >2000pi). I have essentially worked out the printing except for the following problems:

1. border around input box
Input text boxes within the movie dont print with a border, althought the text boxes have "show border around text" selected and display correctly on screen.

2. print background
Is there an easy way to change the document background colour using actionscript - so I can set the background to white just while it prints? or is the only solution to create a white graphic box within the movie?

3. paging
The virtical size of the movie is large and therefore need to fit on multiple pages. The vertical size is also dynamic. Currently I am using the Xmin:,Xmax:,Ymin:,Ymax to set a page - but this means that some of the content gets unnaturally cut off. Is there a better way to split a movie into pages for printing?

btw: for development purposes I'm only printing to postscript files and viewing them - i dont think this output would be different from the real thing right?

Thanks, I'd appreciate any help, espcially with the first question, cause i cant think of a work around, and I really need to get that to work.

Jubal
