Name

printAsBitmap( ) Global Function — print the frames of a movie or movie clip as bitmaps

Availability

Flash 5

Synopsis

printAsBitmap(target, boundingBox)

Arguments

target

A string or reference indicating the path to the movie clip or document level to print (references are converted to paths when used in a string context).

boundingBox

A string indicating how the printed frames of target should be cropped when printed, as described earlier under print( ).

Description

The printAsBitmap( ) function is functionally identical to print( ), except that it outputs rasterized content to the printer, not vectors. It can, therefore, successfully print movies with color transformations but produces poorer quality for vector-based artwork.

Usage

See Usage notes under the print( ) function.
