Printing frames independent of the PrintJob class

The ActionScript 2.0 PrintJob class, available for Flash Player 7 and later, offers many advantages over the print() and printAsBitmap() methods for printing. However, to print targeting Flash Player 6 and earlier versions, back to Flash Player 4.0.25 (Windows) and 4.0.20 (Macintosh), use print( ) and printAsBitmap() functions and frame labels.

To set up printing from Flash Player independent of the PrintJob class, specify frames to print and set their print area.

Note: For information on printing from SWF files at runtime using ActionScript 3.0, see “Printing” in Programming ActionScript 3.0.
