Hi Willem, Dank je wel! I figured it out already, but still interested in your class, if only it were for learning from it. I am now trying to create output from my data to a printer in a Excel kind of layout. I didn't find a good way to do this in Flash, so I am at the point of outputting it to a CSV text file and import that in EXCEL. But it is yet another user handling which I would like to overcome. Eventually the list must be filled in with the amount of every article, and mailed to someone else.
Any idea if and how I can overcome the Excel thing because I don't know how to properly print, possibly multiple pages?
