Print screen?

Hi all, I'm doing a swf that I need the user to be able to print what is on the screen. I could get them to do a Prt Sc and cut n paste into a word doc but thats pretty clunky.Any ideas please? Thanks Jafa

I don't think this is possible in Flash without using php or something.

You could send each pixel to a php script, and have the php script render an image... that would be horribly inefficient!

Yeah, iterate over the pixels using the surface object and build string then send the string to a php script using the get object. :D

Actually I'm kidding, we really need a print object for the flash runtime. I've seen bunch of flash apps do this.

Yeah AS3 can do printing -

It's just there is no object for this yet, hopefully the AS coding object will allow it though.

It will.

Nice, i can't wait to try the new AS3 coding object.

MMF2 is actually getting quite good for coding options now with Lua, Python, C#/DotNet, Basic, OpenGL, C++ (For Extensions), HLSL (HWA), AS3 (Soon) and other options like ActiveX/DLLs/XML and parsing features. This is great and i hope this continues with MMF3 also when that is released. :)

More to come in the future.. *cough* ;)
