I'm printing from flex, and since I want to customise the jobs such as with margins and a title, I created a UI Component PrintTemplate. I add my stuff to the PrintTemplate and then I print it.So the code is something like:
printTemplate.addElement(diagram);
addElement(printTemplate);
if (printJob.start()) {

There is a wide known issue with printing of Flash content in Firefox and Chrome browsers.So,one solution was created by "AnyCharts".But it seems not to work.I also tried to implement the latest version of the component that is now hosted and Google Code.I did exactly as the manual prescribes but it still doesn't work.AnyChart guys say on their blog page that something should be done with CSS as well ,but as you can see from the manual at Flash-Print-Fix home page ,there is no mention about CSS setup. My code works like this:

This correctly tagets the clip I want but only prints out one page. How do i get it to print multiple pages if the content is long enough?
//I can get the right margins by defining a rectangle and giving it the following dimensions:
var rect1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 792,612);
//When the print button is pressed the following code executes using the dimensions defined by rect1:
prntCover_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, printCover);
function printCover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
front_mc.visible = false;

This is not working to place the mc correctly on the page. This is all the Adobe help provides. Also Googled and tried different variations but no success.
I have a list component that has hard-coded labels on it (for testing). I then rotate the list component 90-degrees and notice the text disappears(during design time).
I test the file and the labels do not show up also during runtime.
I can get the labels to show if I rotate the component back to its' original state.

I have a sprite that has a scrollbar that uses the scrollrect feature. The sprite has several bitmaps and textfields. When I print the outer sprite (The one with the scrollrect) all of the textfields outside the scrollrect are cut after the first line. In case anyone else is having problems with printing sprites with scrollrects using the bitmap printing option fixes and prints most of the stuff in the sprite. Excluding all textfields outside of the scrollrect. This however can be fixed partially by embedding your fonts.
So now the only problem left is printing multiline textfields that are outside the scrollrect. P.S. Imho the scrollrect should have nothing to do with the printed area of the sprite because the printJob.addPage has a printarea parameter.
I am working on an Adobe AIR (2.0) application that contains a feature to allow users to print documents (such as salary slips). Those documents are originally in PDF format. Due to circumstances we cannot directly display those PDFs in the AIR application (for example using flash.html.HTMLLoader). Therefore we convert the PDFs to SWFs (using the pdf2swf tool, see The SWFs are loaded into the application using a mx.controls.SWFLoader, like so:
<mx:SWFLoader
id="salarySlipImage"
loaderContext="{someLoaderContext}"

Observe the Flex program below (I'm using Flex Builder 3 w/ 3.5 SDK). The second combobox is conditional on the first. If a 'first name' is chosen, then you are allowed to choose a 'last name'. If 'none' is chosen, then you are not allowed to choose a last name, but rather prompted to choose a first name.
To see the mysterious issue of the disappearing labels, run this program and choose a first name. Then choose a last name. All is well. Then choose 'none' in the first combobox. The prompt of the second combobox changes back, and the last names are removed. All is still well. Then try selecting a first and last name again. You will see that after choosing a first name, the last names do not appear, although the spaces for them do (and if you debug the program, the correct data appears in the dataprovider).[code]...
Extremely frustrated with this. I've created a simple class that extends the UIComponent. I create an instance of this class in a parent class and utilise the 'addChild' method to add it to the parent. I've overridden the 'updateDisplayList' method of the extended UIComponent to add my own drawing routine using the 'graphics' object.
My problem occurs when I start attempt to change any of the following properties (x , y , width, height) either directly or using 'move' or 'setActualSize' because the UIComponent will no longer display - prior to changing any of these properties the object displays fine. I know the object is still there, the 'updateDisplayList' method is still being called (as I'm calling 'invalidateDisplayList' after each change) and it correctly reports the changes.

where i developed an app that uses the webcam, adds an image and then takes a picture, well, i implemented textbook style the printjob, and well everytime after printing my swf goes blank. http:[url]...........But now i have been continuing testing, and i found out, that if i print from another application and then comeback, my video stream from the webcam is blank, this has no sense at all, since i am printing from another app. http:[url]....What is going on here i mean, this must be a flash player issue right.

View 1 RepliesI have a requirement to print a bill from the AIR application.
Following are the constraints.
I need to print to a DotMatrix Printer. I have a complex layout with header, footer and a datagrid with data rolling out to more that one page. I need to have a template to which I will be passing my object.The suffice with the usage of Jasper reports, but I have no server side support.I tried the FlexReport, bentbit and other tools which is optimized for the DotMatrix printers.
Is there a alternative to get the above requirements done. Is there any alternative similar to that of jasper reports without going for a server.
We have a requirement of customizing some images (adding some text to images) using a flex app or jquery for printing this. Once the customization is done, it has to save the output image in 300 dpi for ensuring high quality for printing. We are stuck here and not sure how to save this image in 300 dpi. We can make sure that the source image uploaded for customization is in 300 dpi. But after the customization, we have to save the image in 300 dpi also.
