Print from Flash documents

To preview and edit your documents, print frames from Adobe® Flash® CS3 Professional documents, or specify frames to be printable from Flash Player by a viewer.

When printing frames from a Flash document, use the Print dialog box to specify the range of scenes or frames to print and the number of copies. In Windows, the Page Setup dialog box specifies paper size, orientation, and various print options—including margin settings and whether all frames are to be printed for each page. On the Macintosh, these options are divided between the Page Setup and the Print Margins dialog boxes.

The Print and Page Setup dialog boxes are standard in either operating system, and their appearance depends on the selected printer driver.

Set printing options and print frames

  1. Select File > Page Setup (Windows) or File > Print Margins (Macintosh).
  2. Set page margins. Select both Center options to print the frame in the center of the page.
  3. In the Frames menu, select whether to print all frames in the document or only the first frame of each scene.
  4. In the Layout menu, select from the following options:
    Actual Size

    Prints the frame at full size. Enter a value for Scale to reduce or enlarge the printed frame.

    Fit On One Page

    Reduces or enlarges each frame so it fills the print area of the page.

    Storyboard

    Prints several thumbnails on one page. Select from Boxes, Grid, or Blank. Enter the number of thumbnails per page in the Frames box. Set the space between the thumbnails in the Story Margin box, and select Label Frames to print the frame label as a thumbnail.

  5. To print frames, select File > Print.
