So far in my odyssey to build the printing functionality for the AIR app I'm building, I've run into a dilemma. I have a print view component which holds the meat of what needs to be printed plus the header and footer which is made visible and invisible depending on what page is being printed. The header and footer are separate components themselves.
My problem, is that I have about ten or twelve different report types that I need to print and I'm stuck trying to figure out how to go about this. Each report will use a PrintAdvancedDataGrid to display its data. I thought initially about changing the print view component dynamically, but that would involve being able to add columns, assign them data fields, and name the headers dynamically at runtime, which I'm not even sure I can do via actionscript though I could be missing something. That's not even mentioning grouping. Or, I could simply create a printView object for each report, and simply call an instance of whatever I need in the doPrint(). This is the simplest method and what I'll probably end up doing, but I'd like some advice first. Thanks in advance, Brian Ross Edwards Tech-Connect LLC
