Printing frames without the PrintJob class

The PrintJob class, available for Flash Player 7 and later, offers many advantages over the print() and printAsBitmap() methods for printing. However, to print targeting Flash Player 6 and earlier versions, back to Flash Player 4.0.25 (Windows) and 4.0.20 (Macintosh), you can use print() and printAsBitmap() functions and frame labels—classic functionality that remains part of the authoring tool and does not use the PrintJob class.

To set up printing from Flash Player independent of the PrintJob class, you can specify frames to print and set their print area.
