We print Flash in Firefox correctly

Since ancient times, Flash and Firefox have a lot of problems.
One of them is that Flash content is not printed in Firefox .

We found a workaround a long time ago and laid it out with a free download.
Three years have passed, and the bug still exists and the fix is ​​still relevant.

So, I present to you flash-print-fix. A small library that allows for the normal printing of Flash content in Firefox:
code.google.com/p/flash-print-fix

Problem

This is how the Flex application is printed in Firefox without dancing with a tambourine:

')
And this is the case when using flash-print-fix:

How it works

The principle is very simple:
1. Get a screenshot from swf in png
2. Encode png in base64 string
3. Add a picture to the page with src = "data: img / png; base64, ..."
4. Register css-ohm hiding Flash when printing and displaying images:

@media screen .flashScreenshot { display: none; } @media print .printableFlashObj { display: none; }; .flashScreenshot { display: block; border: 0; outline: none; } 

How to use flash-print-fix

• Downloading flash-print-fix: code.google.com/p/flash-print-fix
• Add swc to flex project
• Edit the html code and add js to it:
  

   <script type="text/javascript" src="FlashPrintFix.js"></script> 

• Add a project to flex the initialization of the image when the content is ready:
  

   FlashPrintFix.initializeApp(); 

Everything! About a headache at the press it is possible to forget.
