Hi there,
We use filters (shadows and glows) to make the scene look better. At
some point a user can print what they've created, but the print shows no
filters. Is there an easy way to get the filters on the print?
Have you tried printAsBitmap? I found that was the only way to get some
stuff to print the same way it was displayed, even when filters weren't
involved (like some hand-drawn shadows using transparent fills).
My project was written in AS2; I don't know whether the implications are
different for code running in AVM2.
(code simplified from my app, untested)

this.printPg._visible = true; //printPg is the MovieClip to print
var printArea:Object = {xMin:0, xMax:printPg._width, yMin:0,
yMax:printPg._height};
var printOptions:Object = {printAsBitmap:true};
if (posterPrintJob.addPage('printPg', printArea, printOptions)) {
pgsQueued++;

if (pgsQueued) {
posterPrintJob.send();
}
