Can't print member in Mac projector made with MX 2004 Win

I have been using a homemade educational app for years made in D8 for Windows, but need to make it available for the Mac now.  I also own 8.5 and MX 2004, but never needed any of the features until now. MX 2004 can create a Mac projector, but I have been having one problem after another with this conversion. I had been using POM lite in D8 WIndows, but it will not work in the MX 2004 Mac projector. After spending hours looking for the free POM lite for Mac, it seems that it now costs $150? For such a basic feature that should be native in Director, I need a solution to print members that does not require an extra. Can some please help me?
There is apparently a way to do it using a Flash object  http://dasdeck.de/staff/valentin/lingo/flash_print/, but after spending several days trying to port the applicable code to my app, I could not get it to work. I do not work in Flash although I have tried, so it was a miracle that I got the flash_print as far as I did. If anyone has a working example using just the print member portion or could tell me why I was able to get it to work in author mode but was getting a Director Player Error in the test projector on Windows:
Director Player Error
Handler not found in object
#getNextHighestDepth
Script Error. Continue?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Actually, I am about to cry so at this point so any working solution other than printFrom (because some of my text members are more than one page and are in scroll bars) or paying for an xtra would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

OK, I removed the Flash Agent and Flash Options and the include in projector box is now showing checked.  Yes, I am authoring this in Dir MX 2004.  I am using the Flash Asset xtra that came in Schmidt's demo.  It is newer and the size is different from what I had installed. The Flash Asset in my Dir 2004 installation which is version 10.1 (I seem to have the 10.1 update, but not 10.1.1) is dated 9/9/04 and is 804 KB. The one in the flash_print demo is dated 2/7/06 and is 1560 KB.  When I run one of the .dir files from my app with the 9/9/04 Flash Asset I get an error when I click Print. I can't remember the exact error message, but it sounded like something was missed.  So, I thought maybe I needed the newer Flash Asset.  After, replacing the original Flash Asset with the newer one the error went away and the Print dialog box pops up.  When I create the projector - you both are right something is not there.  Could it be the .1 update that's needed?  Is the Flash Asset in Schmidt's demo Xtras folder not the right one for MX 2004? Could something else be missing?
Btw, here is the code for my print button:
-- CREATE INSTANCE     -- I created a parent script with the name PRINT_CLASS .  I also inserted a Flash object named swf on the stage.
  printDoc = script("PRINT_CLASS").new(sprite("swf"))   
  -- ACTIVATE AUTO-PAGEBREAK
  printDoc.mSetAutoPageBreak(true) 
  -- PAGE 1
  printDoc.mAddPage() 
-- ADD LONG TEXT THAT CAUSES AUTOMATIC PAGE-BREAKS
  tLongText = ""
  repeat with i = 1 to 1
    put member("ARListPrint").text after tLongText
  end repeat
  tFormat = ["leftMargin": 10]
  tSettings = ["wordWrap":1, "autoSize":"left"]
  y = printDoc.mAddText(tLongText, 28, 28, 500, 0, tSettings, tFormat) 
  -- DEACTIVATE AUTO-PAGEBREAK (for now not compatible with HTML mode!)
  printDoc.mSetAutoPageBreak(false) 
  -- ADD HTML TEXT
  tHtml = member("html").text
  tFormat = ["leftMargin": 10]
  tSettings = ["html": 1, "wordWrap":1, "autoSize":"left"]
  printDoc.mAddText(tHtml, 28, y, 500, 500, tSettings, tFormat) 
-- PREVIEW -> save all pages as bitmaps in castLib "preview"
  --  repeat with i = 1 to printDoc.pPageCnt
  --    img = printDoc.mGetPreview(i, true)
  --    m = new(#bitmap, member(i, "preview"))
  --    m.name="Page" && i
  --    m.image = img
  --  end repeat 
  -- PRINT!
  printDoc.mPrint() 
  -- CLEAN UP
  printDoc.mDestroy()
  printDoc = 0

  • Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600

    Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600.  Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline.  I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list.  When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all.  I haven't attempted to use the scanner.  I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck.  I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends.  No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light.  I run software update and it shows no updates needed.  Help!

    When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
    When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
    Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
    AC "
    In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
    Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
    If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

  • Why I can't import o sync my videos made with my IPhone 4S?

    I can't import o sync my videos made with my IPhone 4S. Have try ICloud Photo Stream, IPhoto, Image Capture, Drang and Drop, Dropbox, also turning it on and off, nothing seams to work. Can someone please give a efective solution? Thanks

    The iPhoto app (version 9.4.3) on my iMac (with OS X, version 10.8.4) no longer imports videos from my iPhone 5 (with the latest version of iOS).  This problem arose suddenly roughly one month ago.  Whenever I connect my iPhone to the iMac, all my photos are imported without a problem, but I get the following error message for all of the videos on the iPhone:
    I get the same error message when my children try to import videos from their 5th gen iPod touches.  The videos simply do not get imported and they remain on my iPhone anmd the iPod touches.  Strangely, I can send the videos via iMessage or email to other iPhones/iPod touches and they play with no problem on the recipient iDevices.  
    Again, this problem began suddenly roughly one month ago - I was able to import videos from my iPhone 5 without incident before it suddenly stopped working - and I am stumped at how to correct this problem.
    I do not have any issues with storage capacity on my iMac, so that possible explanation can be ruled out.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    No.. Logic Pro X requires 10.8.4 or later....

  • Can I use the backups that I made with Leopard ?

    Hi,
    Can I use the backups that I made with Leopard or do I have to re-configure Time Machine again, like it never happened when SL is installed ?
    Sincerely.

    You should only have to worry about doing this, if you choose to erase and install Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard by default upgrades your system, and thus a restore would only be necessary in an emergency.

  • Can i print from my mac to a win 7 printer?

    I have done a search and was unable to find the answer to my question. I have tried to figure out how to print from my MBP to my wifes printer that is attached to her windows 7 computer. I am able to print to that printer over the network with a windows computer but not my mac.
    Does anyone know how to get this done or if it is even possible?

    Printing from your Mac to a printer attached to a WIndows 7 printer can indeed be done.
    It use to be quite easy under Windows XP or even Vista, But Microsoft changed the SMB code in Windows 7, making it more of a headache.
    Here is how to share your Windows 7 printer:

    Hi MaryEtta, and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you are having issues printing.  I would like to help. 
    I am including a document to help determine whch version of the Mac OS you are using:
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • I can't print web downloads, specifically pdf files, with Firefox.

    I get an error message if I try and look at the page in print preview which says: " Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize. " I can print the same pages in Safari. The only remedy I can see so far is to abandon Firefox for any online transactions and move to Safari.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 4
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 5
    Do as in Step 3 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can not print song lists for jewel case with windows

    I have PC with Windows 7 and have downloaded the latest version of I Tunes and still can not print out a list of songs that will fit into a jewel case.  The songs print all over one another in a garbled mess.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?  I have spoken to and emailed Apple Support but they can not offer assistance if I am not using an Apple device.  If I am purchasing music on ITunes it seems appropriate to have access to the same service as those who use MACS.  If I can not get this to work properly, I would like suggestions on how else to create my music CD's as easily as I can on ITunes.

    Aloha Mom,
    It is the same place it has always been:  with the playlist open, use the Print command under the File menu.
    The new thing is that the Menu bar is hidden by default.  So if you don't see the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc), enable it by holding the CTRL key and pressing B.

  • Can't print contact sheets on Epson R1800 with LR3

    I upgraded to Lightroom 3 a few months ago and can't print contact sheets on 13x16" sheets using my Epson R1800 (it worked fine before in Lightroom 2).
    I have this problem on both an iMac and Macbook Pro, both running the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    I've tried re-installing the drivers, open the program in 32 bit mode and no joy.
    I can use the Print Module no problem and can print 4x6 single prints or even do a 2x2 contact sheet on a 4x6. I can also print a 7x7 contact sheet on a 13x19" sheet using draft mode, but if I try to use profiles (the images are way too dark in draft mode), LR will spend a few minutes rendering the images, while this is happening the job appears in the Epson utility, but once LR has finished rendering, the progress bar disappears along with the job in the Epson utility and nothing happens?
    Anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks in advance for replying.
    John

    Print Drivers on OS X aren't the same as on Windows...
    You can't use an Epson driver made for USB-only Epson printers, because they wrote the driver to only work via USB. To use the CUPS Windows printer protocol, you need a driver written to use CUPS. The Gutenprint drivers Apple included in OS X are CUPS drivers. An update is here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    If your specific model isn't yet supported, try other model drivers.

When I try to make a copy from the first DVD that I burned I receive the message that i do not have enough privieges. I checked the "Get information" tabs and I see at the end "Only read" (not copy). This was the 1st dvd that I burned with my new G4 with superdrive.
