flash (macromedia) : Printing causes IE 6 crash

I have a page on my intranet that contains two flash files. About 15k each. The
pages and flash work as expected. However, on just about every machine I can
test, when I try to print the page using: File --> Print, or File Print
Preview, the browser crashes with the report error message. Any help would be
appreciated.

put a print button on your flash file, the script for the button is:

on(release){
printAsBitmapNum(0, "bframe");

This does not answer my solution.

I have a 60%-40% balance of flash and html on the page we are trying to print.
I have a swf file roughly 350x250 at the top of the page. I have html down the
left hand side of the page and a swf file roughly 325x550 running down the
right side of the page with html content again below that. The flash and html
are seamless (unless you right click you cannot tell there is flash on the
page). You must scroll to see all the content on the page.

Now when I print the page like I want to print any html page, it crashes the
browser (for all 2800 users of our intranet). I can open each flash file
separately and print them using the browser print button. I can even place both
files on one blank page and they print. I can place the top flash file in the
actual page, and it prints. I cannot however print the page with the right side
flash file...will this have something to do with the needed scrolling of the
page?

Thanks
