Hi,

   I am assuming you are talking about the IDE?

   Are you doing screenshots for the client?
It might not be helpful, but I just do Test Movie then Alt+Print Screen or Ctrl+Print Screen and paste into my graphics program...

Alternatively look at CutePDF or one of the "free" PDF printers that might help.

Printing from SWF's with the FP Printer - you can draw into a bitmap first, then print the MC with that in - this means all your filters & fonts should have been rasterised.

   HTH - might have misunderstood your request...

I would print directly to pdf; yet, I lose the effects I have placed on MCs; as well, saving it to illustrator directly is a problem, because flash will screw up the file header when a custom font that I use is required.

Thus, because flash doesn't have a decent printer driver, and its file conversion methods suck, my current process is:

I create an swf of the dimensions I want in inches (e.g. 8.5 x 11)
I convert to png and choose a DPI of something like 300 to indicate high resolution, and I select 24 bit, with no alpha channel, in order to avoid the ARGB conversion that is screwed for flash. I open that png and I open something like photoshop/illustrator that allows you to convert to a pdf.

Is there a better way?
