flash actionscript: is it possible to dynamically assign Frame Labels?
DId not see anything in the Actionsrcipt Dict.

Im trying to create a module whereby only specific frames or even targets are
printed, but these will change each time.. and i would rather be able to send
all selected to the printer at once versus one by one. so naturally im thinking
i should be able to assign a #p to specfic frames on the fly. suggestions?

Thanks!

Is there a way to dynamically add a key Frame? Then i could dynamically created
the amount of frames/pages i need and print those. or any recommendations on
how to print multiple targets (pages) at once?

print ("target", "..") only allows one target.. cant stack targets. so i could
print target 'page1', but not targets 'page1..page5'

i cant use #p on each frame, because the whole point is to only print the
pages/frames that the user selects.

the only way i have found is by doing: print ("page1", ".."); print ("page2",
"..") .... but then the user has to click PRINT in the dialog box "x" amount of
times, rather than once.. so clearly a 30 page document would be irritating.

Seems to me this must be a common issue - so.. what am i missing?

I don't have a need to use the print functionality but is it possible to do it
in a loop?

Have the user select the pages to print then call a loop function to send them
all to print?

Just a thought, cause I have never had to implement any print functionality
