PrintJob cannot extend over multiple frames

The PrintJob class, which is supported in Macromedia Flash Player 7 and later, must be instantiated and used in a single frame. An instance of the PrintJob class created in one frame will not respond to method calls in a later frame. For example, the following code must execute in a single frame:

my_pj = new PrintJob();
my_pj.start()
my_pj.addPage([params]);
my_pj.send();

Additional Information

Only one print job may be running at any given time. A second print job can not be created until one of the following has happened with the previous print job:

• The previous print job was entirely successful and PrintJob.send() method was called.
• The PrintJob.start() method returned a value of false.
• The PrintJob.addPage() method returned a value of false.
• The delete PrintJob method has been called.
