[flexcoders] Re: Printing Images with printJob.addObject
You can do printing with dynamic images, you just have to wait until the images
are loaded before adding them to the printjob. Listen for the Event.COMPLETE
event to know when the images are loaded. I am doing it and it works fine.

Do you have working code with embedded images?

[flexcoders] Re: Printing Problems
Hi, I'm on Vista - but I believe there can be a problem on the macs if
you don't set your control.width = pj.width and control.height =
pj.height when sending to the printJob that will churn out an extra
page. Printing in Landscape withour user intervention can be difficult
to scale.
I have a sample AIR Application on my Blog that demonstrates printing in

I'm surprised you aren't getting an error or warning in the console. I
think the use of callLater doesn't work during a printjob and the job

timeout limits). Usually, all external data needs to be pre-loaded and
the whole print page needs to have some validateNow call and send()
right in the loop. You can't put things off. It is actually a bug in FP

Would anyone be able to tell me why the following code creates a blank

I am able to add the custom printing compoent to the application, the
print dialog opens and it looks to be processing the print, however, I
am left with 2 blank pages when it is done. In addition, it crashes
Firefox when the print job is complete. I have added some of the ideas
presented in this group, however, can not seem to find any additional
information on the web about this problem. Has anyone overcome the
issue.
The function I am using to print is as follows
private function printDailyManpowerList(event:MouseEvent):void {
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); //create flex
print job
if (printJob.start() != true){
return;
}
var dailyPrint:DailyManpowerListPrintView = new
DailyManpowerListPrintView(); //create new print component
this.parentApplication.addChild(dailyPrint);
printJob.addObject(dailyPrint);

PDF solves three things - provides a 'print preview' and printing capabilities via the reader, plus an option to archive the print-ready document. Flash paper has kinda passed me by.

Re: Requests/Votes re Printing, PDF, MARS (was RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Feedback for the Future)
David, Group, Essentially we have 2 issues here - Printing and client side PDF generation. 1. As far as sufficient printing API needed for Internet applications goes, I believe we need at least the APIs we implemented for IE 7 years ago - http://www.htmlprinting.com. We are willing to contribute the code to the Adobe player's codebase. At minimum we would need page size control and ability to print asynchronously. I would gladly discuss the features needed in depth, but as of now due to the limited printing capabilities of Flash Player most of our business quality printing had to be diverted to client side PDF generation. 2. Client-side PDF generation with XML is possible now as long as it is going to be viewed in Adobe 8 or better. Details of the approach were published in Farata blog (flexblog.faratasystems.com) a while ago. In short, to achieve that we had to supplement our controls library with special APIs that render content of each control as XML - sometimes producing text (thus enabling text search within the document), sometimes making images of fragments ( making document look good). Hopefully MARS will fill the gap by providing better set of controls/styling over current XDP set. In either case in order for Flex framework to be usable for masses Adobe should add: a. Generic interface for XML PDF representation for each UIComponent and Container b. Implementation in the base classes c. Printing templates that utilize that interface.

[flexcoders] Re: Printing multiple objects per page, how to?
Just add your Panel and HBox to another container, and send this other
container to the print job.
Here's the pseudo code:
var newContainer:VBox = new Vbox();
newContainer.add( hbMainTitle );
newContainer.add( dspChildWithFocus);
printJob.addObject (newContainer);
Viola.
Well, you might have to experiment with this. newContainer may have
to be added to a container...but I don't know off the top of my head.
But you can see the solution.

[flexcoders] Re: Printing a large string over multiple pages
I remember in AS2 I created an array of movieclips with print content
and then print the array one by one. Each array entry was a movie clip
object. I had to manually measure when the movieclip is to high, then
create another one, etc.
Now from the livedocs:
The PrintJob class hasn't changed dramatically for the ActionScript
3.0 implementation of printing. However, a few critical differences
are worth noting:
* The PrintJob.addPage() method now takes a Sprite and a Rectangle
object for the first two parameters.
So, I would manually measure the height of the sprite each time i add
a word or a character to it, if it's too high I would create another
sprite with textfield inside and continue with the remaining text.
There might be better ways to do it in AS3, I haven't tried any
printing yet.

[flexcoders] Re: Printing from Flex
Easiest way is to create a custom component representing the page you want
to print. Example code, using component called ChartsPrint:
public function print2():void{
var printJob:FlexPrintJob=new FlexPrintJob();
if(printJob.start()){
var printView:ChartsPrint=new ChartsPrint();
Alert.show(Print Start,);
addChild(printView);
printView.height=1200;
printView.width=900;
printView.mainPieChart.dataProvider=mainPieChart.dataProvider;
printView.chrtTotalEquity.dataProvider=chrtTotalEquity.dataProvider;
printView.chrtPayments.dataProvider=chrtPayments.dataProvider;
printJob.addObject(printView,FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
printJob.send();
removeChild(printView);
}
}
The three charts (mainPieChart, chrtTotalEquity, chrtPayments) created just
by pasting code from main app into the ChartPrint component, changing some
formatting, removing dataProviders and effects, and generally laying it out
for printing. DataProviders supplied when the print function is called, as
you see. You can similarly set values for labels, text, etc. in the
component.
[flexcoders] Re: Printing in Flex
Hi Sam, This issue was caused by the fact that the FlexPrintJob was preparing the panel for printing (the print job was set to match or width/height) and for some reason it was setting it's height to 0 - that's why I think it was getting removed from the queue. I've noticed that wrapping a container in another one sometimes (just a Canvas) helps however I cannot identify any rules when it helps or why. Our print button was supposed to print whatever was conatined in one of the panels (I must add that the structure of th app is qute complicated). Depending on the content the behaviour was different. Typical effect was moving, shrinking or maximizing/zooming the nested containers - generaly breaking the view. It seems that the finishPrint method that is invoked by the FlexPrintJob method was not restoring the containers' properties properly. Any idea? Additionally we've noticed another issue with printing. Very often when there's a number of jobs spooled on our network printers (or there is an error due to lack paper or something similar) and spooling from Flex takes long we are getting errors however at least partial printout is generated. It is quite difficult to reproduce and depends on an individual environments. Typically, it was observed with long printouts (above 10 pages).Have you ever experienced anything like that?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: printing/zooming bugs
I was playing with your code, and discovered you don't need
to create a new context menu, just call hideBuiltInItems() on the existing
one:
function init:void()
{
contextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
}

RE: [flexcoders] Re: printing/zooming bugs
It's still present here.
I can right-click - Zoom In, and it correctly zooms in.
When I then right-click - Zoom Out, it only zooms out a little, but a tick
appears next to "Show All" and Zoom Out greys out. Leaving me still partly
zoomed in (and missing the outside of my application), unable to get
back.
I'm definately using the release player

Re: [flexcoders] Re: printing/zooming bugs
So was I.That was in beta.Seriously, this is pretty major. Zooming MUST be very important to Flash/Flex if it takes up the first three right-click menu options by default. And yet, they break it and seem to just blow it off. FYI, I entered a bug report on the official web page about it.On 7/19/06, Uday M.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: printing/zooming bugs
The zoom in, zoom out problem was noticed and was fixed. I'll look into it. As far as I can see it works fine on the release player.

[flexcoders] Re: printing/zooming bugs
Thanks for the tip! That worked great on the printing part of the
bug. Still have weird zooming issues, though.
For anyone else's reference, I changed the code around to this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute backgroundColor=0xFF
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function buttonClick(e:Event):void {
import mx.printing.FlexPrintJob;
var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
myPrintJob.start();
vbox.height = vbox.width * myPrintJob.pageHeight /
myPrintJob.pageWidth;
myPrintJob.addObject(vbox, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
myPrintJob.send();
vbox.percentHeight = 100;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VBox id=vbox height=100% width=100%
backgroundColor=0x00FF00
mx:Button label=Print click=buttonClick(event) width=100%
height=5%/
mx:DataGrid width=100% height=90% backgroundColor=0xFF

/mx:DataGrid
mx:Button label=Empty width=100% height=5%/

Note that I took the height/width off application (that seems to get
it confused) and that I adjusted the height so it would fill the page.

Thank you all for the answers. Clearly printing is not the most advanced and easy-to-use feature in Flex/Flash. Nihit, your code example works - it really is possible to print two pages even if they are not on screen. Great, thanks! But how does the code work, could you explain the logic a little?

Hi, I need to print a form having two pages. The form consists of boxes, containing layout boxes and grids, containing labels, texts etc. The contents are pretty long so that a vertical scrollbar is displayed on the form. I have studied the PrintJob class and tried various procedures with little success. How should the pages be scaled in order for them to fit to the paper (A4)? And, above all, is there any way to print the second page? Is it true that the printable contents should be visible when printing?? Now I can print (most of) the first page, with good luck, but never the second page (a blank, black page prints out). And yes, I have tried manipulating the vPosition of the VBox in question to give the PrintJob a clue as where to start the second page. This has not worked. Suggestions, anyone, please?

But how does the code work, could you explain the logic a little? Where are the resizeMask() etc methods coming from? I'll try to beat Nihit to this (although he's clearly da man when it comes to printing). Basically the parent of the Loader, the Box, has a mask that is used for clipping the content (as the content won't fit within the bounds). In the sample code, this mask is being removed temporarily before printing and then added back once it's done. The removeMask, createMask and resizeMask functions are internal to the Container class. They are not documented, as they are not meant to be a part of the public API. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Re: Printing
I noticed something odd in testing the code available on macromedia.com on how to print the entire contents of a datagrid. It works if you leave the default printer settings alone, but if you change to have the report printed landscape-wise, it doesn't work anymore. It stops at the point where you can see up to on the screen and doesn't print past that... Also...is there any way to change the font size when printing a datagrid? I have the fontWeight style set to bold for all contents of my datagrid, which is relatively wide, and when I print the datagrid using the script, the font is rather large on the page and the columns, when the print job shrinks the column width to fit it to the paper width, the contents in some of the cells is too large and is replaced with a vertical scrollbar, making the report illegible for some of the cells. I've tried added a setStyle (fontSize, 6) call before the pj.send() is called and then resetting the fontSize afterwards and I see it visually happening on the screen, but it holds no bearing on what's sent to the printer. Just was wondering. Thanks, Rob
RE: [flexcoders] Re: Printing
Robert, I just tried that example and it does not work either way for me. The data and paging is correct, but only the screen/visible area prints. Did you discover anything?
