[BNM] Flash printing orienation

[Simon Crozier]

Well its learning content so individual users may want to print out any
scene at will... given there'll be in excess of 100 scenes per course (all
broken down in to modules and SCOs) doing it in PS isnt really pracitical -
might as well of just sent them a book. (obv didnt explain that in first
email so in general was a perfectly sensible suggestion)

Think we're just gonna have to do the skally rotate-printBitMap-rotate...
honestly they might as well have just paid chavs on the street to come up
with that one... Oh yeah flash is just soooo usable as long as you don't
want to print..
