I'm not sure I follow you, but from what I understand you are trying to

print a Flash movie off of the web and are only getting the first frame

regardless of where you are in the movie, right? If I am correct in my

assumption, this is not a bug, it is just the way Flash works. Regardless of

load movie or any other action, you will only be able to print the first

frame of any movie on the web. 


While in the authoring environment, you can print any frame you like. This

is useful for storyboarding, etc..


Hope that helps, let me know if I am way off base.


Good Luck
