Flex :: Printing On OSX Pushes Image Off Page
Oct 18, 2009
My Flex 3 app prints pages just fine from browsers on Windows using FlexPrintJob (not the browser print function). However, on OSX, the left and top margins show up larger and the page gets pushed off the right and bottom. Basically, the scaling is screwed up, and I can't see any way to adjust the margins in code.Has anyone seen this discrepancy in Flex printing between Windows and OSX? Are there any known workarounds? I've searched all over and I can't find any good info on this (other than 12 unresolved printing bugs in the Adobe Jira DB)
PDF Generation is one route and while its a valid solution for some folks, I need to print directly. I'd like to see stuff like using regular Flash PrintJob, monkeypatches to FlexPrintJob, or just ways I can format my DisplayObjects before sending them to FlexPrintJob. None of the scaling options in FlexPrintJob work. My Flex Component is at 1.0 scale. I'm not sure what else I can do except for mess around with regular PrintJob.

I've got a document reader application that I'm trying to add a print option to, but I'm having real difficulties with PrintJobs.On my first attempt, I prepared all my pages in advance, then called PrintJob.start, followed by PrintJob.addPage for each page, then PrintJob. send to finish.On longer documents, however, this was falling foul of the script execution time limits.I could get 90-100 pages spooled before the runtime threw an exception and cut the print run short.On my second attempt, I prepared all my pages in advance again, then called PrintJob.start.I then tried using an event handler to call addPage for each page (first using the frame_enter event, then using a timer). However, calling PrintJob.addPage from an event handler like this caused an exception to be thrown.I've been tearing my hair out all afternoon trying to find a solution to this -- does anybody have any idea how I can get long PrintJobs to work?

//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;
[Code]....
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'm trying to print an MC that is on screen with a dynamic text field in the MC - its printing just fine but the placement of one of the elements is off. Basically I have a dynamic text field centered on the stage, however when I print it, the text field moves to the very right on the printed page, while the rest of the contents of the MC stay centered. To clarify on the printed page I basically have this nice page with centered text, but the dynamic textfield is moved all the way to the right of the page.

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 have been working on product configurator with AS3 for several months now.I am not proficient with AS3.Now, it seems that maybe my design is all wrong.I
I have a main timeline that has movie clips showing images of different options for the product.On the first frame, I use buttons to select the choice for option 1 from the Option1_mc.Then I store the choice in a variable.I use a button to go to the next choice (frame 10.)
On frame 10, I use buttons to select the choice for option 2 from the Option2_mc.This is stored in another variable.
There are about 10 options that are selected and stored in variables.Some are text values and others are instances of images from the Option movie clips.
I made a Print_mc to use for printjob.I can't get the values of the variables to display in the first frame for printing.

I have problems understanding the way you can print from flash, reviewing the documentation I found the PrintJob Class nad I'm trying to make it work. It was easy with AS2, but now I can't get it to work, I need it for AS3.The issue is, I have a code generated chart, and want to print it, with some extra stuff, but to begin the chart would be fine.this is the printing code I have and an image of the stage. The commented code I've tried also, none of them working. I think that's because the way it's handling the chart, and the (maybe) Sprite the printJob is trying to add.

I'm currently working on this website (http:uel...) and I created a little gallery. When you press the image it becomes the background of the website. Now this has some problems if the background is white and you look at the other pages again, you can't read the text any more.I would like it to be when you go back to another page, the background changes to it's original one. So basically I'm looking for the page (component?) load event or something alike, but I can't seem to find it.
CreationCompleted doesn't work for this, because when you navigate to it the second time it's already created, this the background doesn't change.I'm setting the background like this:
Main page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" [code]....
I also have the problem that the images become stretched, because I can't set the fillmode NOR can I center them,

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}"

I am building my website in adobe flex(i am n00b). I have some photographs which I would like to make sure that people cannot print.
I do understand that it is not possible to completely stop users from printing. But atleast disable the context menu or just the print option and the copy option.

I 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.

I am currently working on an Adobe AIR application that shows the user some graphical data. As this data is more in height to fit the screen height, I've placed it inside a scroller.
Now I want to take a print of this visual data, mostly some charts and lists but I only see a single page containing only the part of the screen that is currently visible to the user. I want to have the entire content inside the scroller to appear on the page.

I am retrieving the details from the database and printing them in the XML format. It's working pretty good and can even display the same XML format in the Flex. However, I am not sure, how to save this XML file to give it as a data provider for datagrid.
Here is my JSP code :
<%
ps1 = conn.prepareStatement("select file from file where status='P'");
rs1=ps1.executeQuery();
[Code]....
I am using the following thing to get the details
event.result.body.people.toXMLString();
