## Print2Flash Document API Sample for ActionScript2 documents for Flash movies using ActionScript3

### Sample function:

This sample demonstrates how a Print2Flash document using ActionScript2 can be embedded into another Flash movie using ActionScript3 and programmatically manipulated using Print2Flash Document API.

Note: Embedding of ActionScript2 documents in Flash movie using ActionScript3 and using Print2Flash Document API from it is possible but not recommended. The method demonstrated by this sample is deprecated due to poor interoperability support by the Flash Player between ActionScript2 and ActionScript3 movies. It is preferable to use ActionScript3 documents with Flash movies using ActionScript3. See the sample located in the "DocumentAPI\ActionScript3 documents\Samples\FlashCS" folder of SDK archive.

### Installation instructions:

Just unpack the sample folder to disk.

### Usage instructions:

The sample contains the following major files:

- docapisample.fla - sample source code;
- docapisample.html - HTML page used for launching the sample;
- docapisample.swf - compiled sample Flash movie;
- sample.swf - Print2Flash document that is used in the sample obtained by conversion of a document to Flash using Print2Flash.

To launch the sample:

1. Open the docapisample.html HTML page by double clicking it in Windows Explorer.
2. You should see a sample Flash movie with a Flash document embedded in it You can manipulate the document either from its native gray toolbar or using buttons located above the movie. These buttons are contained in the sample movie and the button clicks are communicated to the embedded Print2Flash document via Print2Flash Document API.
   Also, you should see a current page number indicator which is updated if you scroll the document. These updates are performed with Print2Flash Document API events.

To see the source code you need to open docapisample.fla file in Adobe Flash CS Professional and analyze it. Note that if the sample is launched directly from Adobe Flash CS Professional in Flash standalone player, it may not work. You need to launch the sample in the browser.

Of course, you can load your own Print2Flash documents using this sample. Note that to load a document in Flash and access it via Print2Flash Document API you should clear "Disable Print2Flash Document API support" option in the Protection tab of Document Options window when converting the document. Also, you must generate ActionScript2 documents in order to be able to use them with this sample. This is controlled with Flash Document Format field in the Flash Output Tab of Document Options window.
