[swfmill] Trying to print
Hello,
I am trying to print a page via ActionScript and can not get it to work
properly. I think it is a timing issue because some pages print correctly but
others are missing pieces of text. I am attaching the routine I am using. If
someone would be willing to take a look at it I'd appreciate it.
The SWF is embedded in the application as imageInLibrary2 but I have posted
the problem swf page
on my web site at http://www.donth.com/0002.swf
Note: I am using the SWFMILL and MTASC tools.
Thanks,
Joe Donth
The code I am using follows:
function DoPrint(id, field){ // id = x and field = 2
var job:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
var OK = job.start();
if(OK){
var clip:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip(clip,getNextHighestDepth());
clip.attachMovie(imageInLibrary+field,image,clip.getNextHighestDepth());
var Format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
Format.font = Verdana
Format.size = 8;
Format.align = center;
var watermark:TextField =
clip.createTextField(watermark,clip.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,
job.pageHeight,12);
clip.watermark.embedFonts = true;
clip.watermark.text = id;
clip.watermark.setTextFormat(Format);
clip.watermark._rotation = 90;
clip.border = true;
clip._xscale = Math.floor((job.pageWidth / job.paperWidth) * 100);
clip._yscale = Math.floor((job.pageHeight / job.paperHeight) * 100);
job.addPage(clip,{xMin:0,xMax:job.pageWidth,yMin:0,xMax:job.pageHeight});
job.send();
}
delete job;
if(OK){return YES } else {return NO}
}

Re: [swfmill] Question about swfmil output
Mark, Thank you for your prompt and reasoned reply. I didn't know the issue was about reverse-engineering. I *appreciate* your response. Regards, Joe - Original Message - From: Mark Winterhalder [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: swfmill@osflash.org Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [swfmill] Question about swfmil output On 3/4/07, Joseph Donth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Pardon the question but as a newcomer to this list I'm not sure what the rules are yet. Mark's comment ...you won't get any meaningful help here unless you come up with a convincing story that explains why you need to do it. prompted me want to ask what did Mark (and perhaps Bob?) mean? What kind of assistance falls into each category? There are two big problems Flash developers face, particularly with online games, that are connected to decompiling/reverse engineering. One is ripping of online content (i.e., taking somebody else's SWF and using it on your own site) and the other is cheating at online competitions to gain prices. There are mechanisms to make both difficult, and PlayerTracker, as it appeared in the decompile in the thread on the OSFlash list, points into the direction of the latter (tracking the player's progress on the server). That said, there are of course many legitimate reasons for reverse engineering an SWF, and Swfmill can be very helpful in some of them. If somebody has such a reason, it helps to explain it, otherwise most will think they might help to break a mechanism a fellow developer intentionally put in place. But I'm not aware of any particular rules -- you're free to ask or reply in any manner you like. Reverse engineering is OK, I, personally, don't even have a problem with somebody trying to make #1 on a highscore list. I just think such an honour should be deserved by either scoring high or having the 1337 skillz to manipulate the SWF on one's own. :) Mark ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org -- No virus found in this incoming message.

[swfmill] Not understanding the frame command (I think)
My problem seems to be in the way I am mtascing and swmilling the
application. If you'll indulge me:
I am taking a PDF file and running it through swftools's pdf2swf program. This
is creating a 12 frame SWF file from my test pdf.
I am then trying to use MTASC and SWFMILL to create a SWF file that I can
control via the ocx to print each page (actually I want to be able to print the
first page, ask the user if it printed correctly and if so, print the remainder
of the document. (In my example, pages 2 thru 12).
The SWF file that is being created (after MTASC and SWFMILL) consists of ONE
frame i.e. Flash.totalFrames = 1 (where as if I use the original file from the
pdf2swf program I get the actual 12 frames.
I'm guessing I don't understand what I'm doing (which I don't) to build this
application correctly.
Why did I go from a 12 frame SWF to a single frame SWF?
I hope this explains my problem and I also hope that someone has the time to
give a newbee a hand.
Thanks,
Joe

[swfmill] Getting started question
I am new to swfmill and have two questions.
First, is there a way to search the archives for a subject. I don't want to
post a question that has been already answered but I can't find any way to
research it (without reading the whole list).
Second, my problem I am seeking assistance with:
I have a swf file that contains 12 frames. When I follow the examples provided
by Mark Winterhalder's Using swfmill to create SWFs without Flash, I end up
with a single frame SWF that contains all 12 of my original SWF files frames. I
am trying to print the first frame and then with a second print request frames
2 thru 12. I am using the activeX component flash9b.ocx under Windows XP.

Joe Donth
