With the following code, I get a blank 2nd page and the data continues on the 3rd page. This code is slightly different from prior example...grasping at straws without clear understanding of what I'm doing.
private function print():void { var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); if(printJob.start()){//start the print job printJob.addObject(printcontainer); var validNextPage = printDataGrid.validNextPage; //use local var to help debug if (validNextPage) { //worst case scenario two pages max printDataGrid.nextPage(); printDataGrid.validateNow(); printJob.addObject(printcontainer); //get blank 2nd page, remaining data on 3rd page //printJob.addObject(printDataGrid); //2nd page blank; 3rd page purple header but no data. } printJob.send(); printDataGrid.dataProvider = Appointments; } } <!-I tried reducing height of VBox and that just caused the page break to happen sooner, still had blank 2nd page --> <mx:VBox id="printcontainer" width="100%" height="1450" backgroundAlpha="1.0" backgroundColor="white" paddingLeft="20" paddingRight="20" paddingTop="50" borderThickness="20" verticalAlign="top" horizontalAlign="center" visible="false" includeInLayout="false"> <mx:Label fontSize="24" textAlign="center" fontWeight="bold" text="{picker.selectedItem.nickname} on {String(Globals.SelectedDate).substr(0,10)}. This contains PHI; destroy after use!!!" /> <mx:PrintDataGrid id="printDataGrid" dataProvider="{Appointments}" fontSize="12" > <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Start" dataField="starttime" width="80" textAlign="right"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Until" dataField="endtime" width="80" textAlign="right"/> . . . <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Location" dataField="location" textAlign="center"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Notes" dataField="notes" width="400" textAlign="left"/> </mx:columns> </mx:PrintDataGrid> </mx:VBox> From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 11:50 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] need some printing advice What result do you get? No second page or second page is same as first? If the latter, try calling validateNow() after nextPage()
