Printing scrollpane content in Flash 6

[IoMatua]

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can print all scrollpane content (not just visible) from within Flash 6. I've only been able to find solutions using Flash 7 or later. I've tried putting a copy of the scrollpane clip into an off-screen printing area but I still only get the visible clip.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Well, I found an article which suggested to create an off-screen movie clip containing the contents of the movie clip that I want to print. It doesn't seem like the optimal approach, but it works great.

However, the article only really talked about single page printing. I would really need to be able to print 15 - 20 pages at once (the amount is variable). The only option I can think of is to pre-allocate a set number of frames (hoping that whatever I allocate will be nowhere near what the user would actually print out ot once), add in the content accross all the frames, then call print with the "bmovie" parameter to print all the pages.

Again, to me this seems sub-optimal, and my understanding of Flash is fairly basic, so if any Flash veterans can offer any better suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
