[Xerte] Certificate

[Mark Tomlinson, AC&S Ltd]

NAd for the archives, the solution is:
 
 
pj.addPage(pageIcon,{xMin:0,xMax:600,yMin:0,yMax:800},{printAsBitmap:true});

Thanks Jules
 
That is working, except the transparent areas on a png on screen is showing
as black in the printout.

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
