WARNING: Duplicate label

print(my_mc,"bmovie");
where the bounding box is defined by the frame you put the #b on.

Make any sense?

But I'd still need to specify the frames that need to be printed.  

Is there some sort of bug with #p?  Also, I saw an example someone else had and there were flags next to the frames that had lables.  Am I not naming them correctly?  Also, what if I want to use the label to jump to a frame by name?

Now, not only can I not print, the pre-loader I put in for some reason is making my movie completly ignore any stop() statements I have on each frame and is blinking onto whatever frame I navigate to and starting back at the beginning where, for some reason, it stops.

I think I need to go home, get back into bed and start this day over.

that's why you have the duplicate label warning, because you have one frame on a  layer with a p label, and another on the same frame with a different label.

I posted a similar question last week and Billy gave me the second method above to try.  WORKED PERFECT!

To get rid of the problem (or deal with it), remove the frame labels without the p's (where they are in the same place), and replace references to it with the actual frame number.

That's why I said it might be better to use the PrintJob method - and you can loop through it to make it all on the one prnt job.

credit where it is due Sam (that was actually Negatyve:)

but it does work, and is versatile:)

I'm sorry if I'm confused.  Also, please don't think I'm being hostile in any way because I'm frustrated.  

If it is a bug, I'll just stop trying.  For right now I have to figure out why my stop(); statements have quit working since I added a preloader.  No sense working on printing if the entire thing is broken.

I'm a little hesitant to try writing code because the genereic print button I made lies on the top level movie that prints whatever is loaded in the MC holder.  Before the pre-loader everything was fine.

The help says:

To designate printable frames:

1  Open or make active the movie that you want to publish.
2  Select the desired frame in the Timeline that you want to make printable.
3  Choose Window > Properties to view the Property inspector.
4  In the Property inspector, for Label enter #p to specify the frame as printable.
5  Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each frame you want to designate as printable.
 

SHEEEESH!  The stupid thing prints.  You have to specify #p in every frame, and that gives you a warning, but it still works.  What a red herring.

I'll try incorporating that other code, but for now I am really running out of time.

I'm going to open another thread for this pre-loader as it isn't related to this question.  I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks folks.

just to let youy know though, if you use printjob, it will ignore the 3p label print labels.

Never mind.  False alarm on the preloader.  Thanks again, folks.  I wish there was a way to send you guys a beer.

I was using onEnterFrame which I now see will cause that to execute on every frame.  

onEnterFrame=function(){
      if (_parent._framesloaded>=_parent._totalframes) {
            gotoAndPlay(2);
      }
}

What I needed was:

if (_parent._framesloaded>=_parent._totalframes) {      
      gotoAndPlay(2);
}
else {
      gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Thanks, for the printjob tip.  I'm going to try incorporating that after I get a fully working product.

good work:)

pint of bitter please:)
