After working on this problem for another day, it really seems that it isn't possible to print UI Components within a module that exceed the screen display.
The container I want to print is three levels from the application: Start.mxml - is application file ReportModule.mxml - is a module mainContainer is a canvas within ReportModule I'm using clipContent to remove scroll bars and print the entire mainConatiner. However, the content is always clipped. - this code is in ReportModule.mxml and is called before the print job start mainContainer.clipContent = false; this.clipContent = false; this.parentApplication.clipContent = false; I'm setting a timer to wait 3 seconds to allow for clipping before starting the flex print job. Using clipConent on a UI component within the root/application file works great. As an alternative, I'm thinking of creating a bit map object to send to the root and then print from there. But this is a lot of extra work. Does anyone have a better suggestion?
