Part 1:

1. First download the component from my site and install it by doubleclicking on the mxp file in the zip.
2. If you don’t already have a FlashPaper swf somewhere on your computer, create one using the FlashPaper 2 program or right click and save this link.
3. Open up a new movie in Flash and drag an instance of the FlashPaper component onto the stage from the “Components” window. (Also notice the pretty new icon I added to the component ).
4. Click on the component on stage and give it an instance name of “document_fp”.
5. Click on the “Parameters” tab for the component and customize the FlashPaper component parameters to your liking … making sure to change the “Document Path” to the FlashPaper swf from step number 2. Make sure that you don’t add the actual link from step 2 into the path parameter because that FlashPaper 2 swf does not have AllowDomains added into it and it will lock up when you try to publish. Instead use a local FlashPaper swf on your computer.
6. “Current Zoom” can be set to “width”, “page”, or a number from 10 to 999 (which is a percentage value).
7. If you look closely in the “UI Elements” parameter window that opens there are 12 UI elements that you can set the visibility to but in the original FlashPaper api you can only access 10. I have added “Brand” and “Close”. The former allows you to hide the Macromedia brand logo at the top left of the FlashPaper document and the latter allows you to add a close button to the document.
8. Test your movie and keep trying the different settings to see how it affects the FlashPaper document. Just this alone without the component would have been a little annoying to code up in Flash.

Part 2:

1. Click on the “UI Elements” parameter and make sure to set “Close” to true.
2. Add a movieclip or button to the stage and give it an instance name of “button01_mc”.
3. Add an actions layer to your Flash movie.
4. On the actions frame, add the following code:

   			button01_mc.onRelease = function() {
   				document_fp.showUIElement("Close", false);
   				document_fp.traceUIElements();
   			}
   			

5. Test the movie and once the FlashPaper doc has loaded click on your button… you should see the close button disappear. You can do that with any of the elements in the “UI Elements” parameter popup.

Part 3:

With the following steps, replace the content within the “onRelease” function with the content from each step and test each one individually to see the possibilities of the component.

1. Download or create another FlashPaper swf and save it next to the first FlashPaper swf you created. Name it “FlashPaperContent02.swf”.

   			document_fp.documentPath = "FlashPaperContent02.swf";
   			document_fp.load();
   			

2.  

   			document_fp.load("FlashPaperContent02.swf");
   			

3.  

   			trace(document_fp.borderThickness);
   			document_fp.borderThickness = 20;
   			

4.  

   			trace(document_fp.borderColor);
   			document_fp.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
   			

5.  

   			trace(document_fp.getViewerType());
   			

6.  

   			trace(document_fp.getViewerVersion());
   			

7.  

   			trace(document_fp.getCurrentPage());
   			document_fp.setCurrentPage(5);
   			

8.  

   			trace(document_fp.getNumberOfPages());
   			

9.  

   			trace(document_fp.getLoadedPages());
   			

10.  

    			document_fp.printTheDocument();
    			

11.  

    			document_fp.currentZoom = "page";
    			trace(document_fp.currentZoom);
    			

12.  

    			document_fp.setSize(300, 250);
    			

13.  

    			document_fp.goToLinkTarget("http://www.yourpalmark.com");
    			

14.  

    			document_fp.enableScrolling(false);
    			

15.  

    			trace(document_fp.getCurrentTool());
    			document_fp.setCurrentTool("select");
    			

16.  

    			var sel:FlashPaper.SelectionRange = new FlashPaper.SelectionRange();
    			sel.headPageIdx = 1;
    			sel.headCharIdx = 20;
    			sel.tailPageIdx = 5;
    			sel.tailCharIdx = 999999;
    			document_fp.setTextSelectionRange(sel, true);
    			trace(document_fp.getTextSelectionRange());
    			

17.  

    			trace(document_fp.getSelectedText());
    			

18. This will only work if your FlashPaper document has a sidebar.

    			trace(document_fp.getSidebarWidth());
    			document_fp.setSidebarWidth(10);
    			

19.  

    			trace(document_fp.getFindText());
    			document_fp.setFindText("the");
    			

20.  

    			document_fp.findNext();
    			

21.  

    			trace(document_fp.getVisibleArea());
    			document_fp.setVisibleArea(document_fp.getVisibleArea());
