Hello.
I need a simple printing solution. I am putting together a School
Yearbook in Rev in such a way that every card is also a printable page.
It is a very small school, and very few of the parents have Macs, which
is what I work on. So I need something chiefly for Windows, as I could
make available separate CDs for Mac parents. A catch-all solution would
be nice, though.
As one of the buttons, I have "Print". Then I would like to give in a
drop-down menu the option of "Print this page" or "Print the Yearbook
(80 pages)". (The pages are in landscape so I would have to include
printRotated)
------- the following script does NOT work -------
on menuPick which
switch which
case "Print this page"
set the printRotated to true
print this card
break
case "Print the Yearbook (60 pages)"
print this stack
break
end switch
end menuPick
-------
I also tried a "answer" dialogue, but I could not find any
documentation on how to handle three options; "Print this page" or
"Print this stack" or "Cancel".
Does anyone have a a simple, or even a complicated, solution to my
problem? It might even be nice to make available a kind or a standard
script for less experienced scripters.
Ryno.
