If the mc is longer than the pageHeight then add up to pageHeight, then add a second page that starts at pageHeight*2 and goes to pageHeight*3. Just because the functionality may not be build directly into the class doesn't mean you can't use the provided tools to accomplish it or even extend the class. Conditionals.

I have used the PrintJob class and it does a good job, but their is one capability I cannont find.

I want to limit the number of copies printed to one. I can get a bunch of information from the print dialog box (Landscape or portrait setting, page and print dimensions in pixels) but I cannot get access to the number of copies set.

If I had this number, I could abort the print job and say “only one copy allowed”

Is there any way to control the number of copies printed from within Flash?????

Thanks,

MikeC

Any thoughts about this? Some sample code would be nice.
