Hi I have found this flash based exercise and want to use it with my french classes. However i know how do do all of it in flash myself except the printing bit. I.E. having the buttons moving a movieclip to show different bachgrounds and the drag and drop people and props. Could anybody give me any hints or point me to any tutorials which would  help

Many thanks

This is a great question - and one that has got easier to answer with each new release of Flash.  I've been fiddling around quite a bit myself recently in preparation for the release of my Practice Paper application.  I'll post the results of that when I finish...

The secret is to use the PrintJob() command - but it does take a little bit of setting up.  The way to print something that has dynamic content is simply to ensure it is all wrapped up within a movieClip and then print the movieClip.

Anyway, these are good pointers:

This is a little abstract - but dead good - also free to get the source now too:
