Printing from the Flash Player context
menu
You can use the Print command in the Flash Player context menu to print frames from any
Flash SWF file.
The context menu’s Print command cannot print transparency or color effects and cannot
print frames from other movie clips; for more sophisticated printing capabilities, use the
PrintJob object or the
print() function. See “Using the ActionScript PrintJob class”
on page 537 and “Using the print() function (when not using the PrintJob object)”
on page 546.
NOTE
You can also select a blank frame (rather than a keyframe) and label it #p.
