flash actionscript:
I am printing a movie clip and it works fine if I run it locally on my machine,
prints perfectly. I upload the swf to our framework, and run the same print
function, it comes out completely black. But this doesnt happen on all
computers, only some. Some it works fine, but I can't figure out any
correlation between the compuuters it works on. So far, I have only seen it
work on flash 8, but not all flash 8, as I tried it and it came out black for
me. I have tried using print() and the printjob class with no luck.

The framework that I am uploading to is a flash movie that has a black
background, that holds the one I am working on, if that helps at all. Confusing
problem, so let me know if any other info I can provide. Hoping somebody else
has seen this before.

Ok so I tested a bit more. The movieclip I wanted to print is positioned off
the stage. So I slid half of it onto the stage so it wasn't covered by the
black background of the framework movie, and that half printed fine. So it
seems like when I print the movie clip, it is printing whatever is on top of
the movieclip, instead of the movie clip itself. Is there a way I can get it to
ignore what is on top of the clip?

Whats weird is that this isn't happening on all computers, it still works
properly on a few.
