Hi Tiemo,
Take a look at 'open printing' in the documentation -
basically, you can combine multiple print commands if
you wrap them inside an 'open printing ... close
printing' block.
So your print script would look something like:
##
on mouseUp
open printing with dialog as sheet
if the result is "cancel" then
-- the user cancel the print dialog
exit mouseUp
end if
put the topLeft of image "Fullsize Image" \
into tTopLeft
put the bottomRight of image "Fullsize Image" \
into tRightBottom
put the rect of image "Resized Image" \
into tResizedImageRect
hide image "Resized Image"
print this card -- without the image
print this card from tTopRight to tRightBottom \
into tResizedImageRect
close printing -- now it is sent to the printer
show image "Resized Image"
end mouseUp
##
You may have to fiddle a bit with the 'into' rectangle
to get it in the right position - this was entirely
from memory :-)
Hope this gets you closer to a solution,
Jan Schenkel.
