You get your text from the textarea and you do this: Dynamically attach a movieclip from the library with a preformatted textfield that exactly fits an A4 page (set movieclip to _visible = false to do it invisibly) and fill the textfield up with the text from your textarea until the textfield is full.
Then you add to movieclip to the printjob and push the reference to the movieclip to an array. Cut the remaining text and fill up the next one... Create a loop of this to write out all your text. After all text is written out, you execute the printjob and remove all the movieclips with removeMovieClip by looping the array of movieclips. NOTE : this is easier than it seems. Been there, done that, Regards, Hans. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of julian atienza Sent: maandag 24 april 2006 17:26 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] PRINTJOB HELL, PRINTJOB NIGHTMARE with several PAGES Hi. I wanted to Print contents of a long Scrollable textArea with Flash, but it's a kind of nightmare. I tried to made a class to manage Printing (with a PrintJob object inside) , and one empty swf that Creates Dynamically the TextArea and the Class to ManagePrinting, who feeds textArea with contents and scroll TextArea adding page by page contents. Problems: - The Scrolled area in Screen doesn't appeared to be the same than the printable area (each Page, i see repeated contents... why? i just don't know . IT's like the scroll doesn't scroll propertly). - Of course, sometimes, appeared incomplete text (with a cut at the middle) because i don't know any mechanism to avoid it at the moment. Somebody have any idea -> the contents to print will be sometimes of 5 or 6 pages DIN A-4 thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
