Did you consider firing some values into a web page and printing that?

Fair'nuff. The PJ stuff is pretty tricky to get right if I remember rightly.

Dunno.
Couldn't figure it out.
We wanted to use the same graphic/text for the onscreen display.
So when you hit print, it shoves it all offscreen, scales it up and rotates it to produce the full size for printing, then reverses that to display correctly within the prog again.

Why don't you build a landscape printjob?

Turned out to be an oldie-goldie.

We are rotating the cert to print landscape.
To rotate fonts, they have to be embedded.
For embedded fonts to display, they have to be included in a custom resource.swf.
The new resource.swf has to be in the same directory as the .rlo.

Doh.

You need to build the print job: it's not necessarily for the faint hearted:

I think you should try and print a page, showcert maybe, or build another page specifically for the pj and hang it off a framework,

I'm using 'printJob' to print a certificate (thanks Dave). PrintJob calls the ID of the 'showcert' page below.

The certificate is loaded into the flowline then things like the coursename, company, username,date etc. are displayed on top of it.

The problem is only the 'blank' certificate itself prints, not the items displayed 'on top' of it like username, coursename, date, etc.

How can I have the print function grab all the appropriate items....is there a way I need to 'group' these icons (like a FW) then call the parent?

Thanks for suggestions...
