If I try and print a dynamicaly instantiated GUI component, the job silently fails. If I create the same component in line in the page, the job works well. Please can someone confirm this and/or an Adobe person take a look ? In the below example (of it not working) change printJob.addObject(formPrintView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH); to printJob.addObject(thePrintView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH); to get the working behaviour. test.mxml: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; xmlns:print="com.halliwells.flex.archiving.*" height="100%" width="100%"> <mx:Script > <![CDATA[ import mx.printing.*; import mx.controls.Alert; private function alertClickHandler(event:Object):void { var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); // Start the print job. if(printJob.start()){ // Create a MyPrintView control as a child of the current view. var formPrintView:CoverSheetPrintView = new CoverSheetPrintView(); addChild(formPrintView); formPrintView.file=fileModel; // Add the SimplePrintview control to the print job. // For comparison, try setting the second parameter to "none". printJob.addObject(formPrintView, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH); // Send the job to the printer. printJob.send(); // Remove the print-specific control to free memory. //removeChild(formPrintView); }else{ Alert.show("Argh, can't start"); } } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Model id="fileModel"> <xml> <file_id>0123456</file_id> <file_ref>My ref</file_ref> <file_desc> a nice logn description that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and </file_desc> </xml> </mx:Model> <print:CoverSheetPrintView id="thePrintView" file="{fileModel}"/> <mx:Button label="print" click="alertClickHandler(event)" /> </mx:Application> CoverSheetPrintView.mxml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"> <mx:Script > <![CDATA[ [Bindable] public var file:Object; private function addStars(str:String):String{ return '*'+str+'*'; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Label text="{file.file_id}"/> <mx:HBox> <mx:Label text="Name"/> <mx:Label text="your name here" /> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox> <mx:Label text="File ref:"/> <mx:Label text="{file.file_ref}" /> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox> <mx:Label text="Description"/> <mx:Text text="{file.file_desc}" width="600" height="600"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:VBox> -- Tom Chiverton **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
