[Xerte] Certificate

[Tenney Julian]

You can easily print the whole stage using rootIcon.printScreen();
Possibly not what you want to do.
 
For much finer control, you can print the contents of any icon, probably
a page, that contains the certificate's elements. I gave a page icon the
id 'pageIcon', and this works:
 
pj = new PrintJob();
 
if (pj.start()){
 
  if (pj.orientation == "portrait") {
    // Here, the printArea measurements are appropriate for an 8.5" x
11" portrait page.
    pj.addPage(pageIcon,{xMin:0,xMax:600,yMin:0,yMax:800});
  } else {
    // orientation is "landscape". Now, the printArea measurements are
appropriate for an 11" x 8.5" landscape page.
    pageAdded =
my_pj.addPage(pageIcon,{xMin:0,xMax:750,yMin:0,yMax:600});
  }
 
  pj.send(); 
}
 
You'll need to play around with the values in the parameters, and you
need to read the flash documentation about printjob, because there are a
few other things to bear in mind, but basically, that's it. Put the
button the user clicks to print the certificate somewhere other than the
page you're print otherwise the certificate will have the button on it
as well.

	What are my options for having a certificate available in a
course that can be printed?
	 
	Any examples available?
	 
	Thanks
