Subject: Re: FLASH: Printing Flash pages? (MACR???)
From: Michael Penne

Actually, the answer is simple. _Any_ browser except MSIE 5.0 will
simply print the frame you are currently displaying. MSIE 5 prints the
first frame of the first movie and that is it.

For instance go to
http://www.humboldt.edu/~ac/index2.html with NS4.5, 4.08, MSIE 4.x,
etc. and you can print the menu page (_and_ the subsequent .swfs!).

It is a problem I have had with MSIE 5 since it came out, reported on
this list, and recieved a slew of 'you can't print from a browser
because of Flash nonsense from some and apparent unconcern from those
who one woould expect would care'. It is clearly a new problem with
MSIE 5.0, and alarming that so many seem to be assuming that this is
simply the way it is and has always been...

That is a very good question, I would like to know as well!
