Printing Mulitple MCs on one page in FLASH
hey there!
i REALLY need some help on this one, pronto...
HERE'S WHAT IT SHOULD DO: i'm creating a "create-your-own" coloring sheet for kiddies. two buttons allow you to either change the character in foreground or change the background. once you have what you want, the third button allows you to print.
THE PROBLEM: the problem is in the printing... the program itself works fine... the animal characters rotate upon clicking as one MC, as does the different backgrounds. when i try to print, it prints the WHOLE page - including layers that include buttons, etc... how can i print ONLY the 'animal' MC and the 'bkgd' (background) MC? the furthest i've gotten is:
print("animal", "bframe") <-- this will ONLY print the animal - and it prints EVERY frame of the MC!
drop me an email and i could send you the FLA file, too....
thanks in advance... i've heard good things about you guys!

... i guess i should add that i need to PRINT these on top of each other... printing a movie clip is easy, but i need to do layers...

i figured it out... i used 'attachMovie' instead of 'loadMovie', and i was able to do multiple layers of movie clips...
works great!
works great!

so far, so good, but the problem is that i have TWO DIFFERENT types of movie clips to change... i'm trying to figure out how to use the loadMovieNum option because the loadMovie won't let me overlap movies... or WILL it?!
