public class PrintJob
extends Object
The PrintJob class lets you create content and print it to one or more pages. This class, in
addition to offering improvements to print functionality provided by the
print()
method,
lets you render dynamic content offscreen, prompt users with a single Print dialog box, and
print an unscaled document with proportions that map to the proportions of the content.
This capability is especially useful for rendering and printing dynamic content, such as
database content and dynamic text.
Additionally, with properties populated by
PrintJob.start()
, your document can read your
user's printer settings, such as page height, width, and orientation, and you can configure
your document to dynamically format Flash content that is appropriate for the printer
settings. These user layout properties are read-only and cannot be changed by Flash Player.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7
