Description

The printAsBitmapNum() function is nearly identical to printAsBitmap(), except that it

requires the target

level of the print operation to be specified as a number rather than as a

string. This means that printAsBitmapNum() can print document levels only, not movie

clips. It normally is used to dynamically assign the level of a movie to print, as in:

var x = 3;

printAsBitmapNum(x, "bmax");

which can also be achieved using string concatenation with the regular printAsBitmap()

function:

printAsBitmap("_level" + x, "bmax");

Usage

See Usage notes under the print() function.
