I have two keyframes in the main timeline I want to print when the user clicks a button on frame 1. I am trying to do this with the code below but although I get the print dialogue to come up it doesn't see to add the pages. Not sure if I am targeting the right thing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

print_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_190);

function fl_MouseClickHandler_190(event:MouseEvent):void {

var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();

var result:Boolean = myPrintJob.start();

    if (result) {

    this.myPrintJob.addPage(MovieClip(root), null, {printAsBitmap:true}, 2);
    this.myPrintJob.addPage(MovieClip(root), null, {printAsBitmap:true}, 3);
    
    myPrintJob.send();
    
    } else {

        //User does not have printer or user canceled print action

    }

}

I think, first of all you should remove **this** from your script. The **myPrintJob** is a local variable, not a property of the timeline you are on. – Organis Sep 28 '21 at 12:45
when I remove this I get an error – user3718236 Sep 28 '21 at 13:04
Do you have an adobe animate file with a working example of a print button? – user3718236 Sep 28 '21 at 13:05
Please, be more specific, what kind of error do you get? And no, I don't have Flash IDE ready. – Organis Sep 28 '21 at 15:13
I don't get an error I just get the print dialouge pop up but it doesn't add the movie clips to be printed. – user3718236 Sep 30 '21 at 05:26
