FLASH: Printing Load Movies and MCs (repost)

[Hal Medrano]

I posted this yesterday.  My email program went belly up when I was

checking my email this AM, so if any of you kind folks already answered

this, please repost you answer.  I'll try to make Eudora behave this time,

I promise.


Thenkew,


Hal


---------------------QUESTION------------------------


I'm a bit confused about Flash's new printing features.  The SDK states:


"Only one timeline can be designated for printing in a single GetURL

action," and,


"Levels in a Flash movie are not composited on print output."


The problem: I've got a movie that uses LoadMovie to load a calendar

section into Level_1.  Each month of that calendar section is a separate

frame in the timeline of an MC.  The calendar sits atop a nice bg which is

on Level_0. The whole layout, therefore, is a composite of 2 swfs (level_0

and level_1) and an MC loaded into level_1.


I want the user to be able to print whatever they're looking at. Can I

print this as it is, or do I have to reauthor my whole darned site to give

the user this control??


To read the SDK, it sounds like I'm SOL.


Thanks appreciated,
