Printing images is hard because image loading is asynchronous. Check out SuperImage on quietlyscheming.com. It may help.

FYI, I have searched through the forum, and reading the docs but I still couldn't find the solution. I think I do know what's the problem. Here's the situation: I have a datagrid with 3 columns. One of the columns has an itemRenderer that will display an image. This itemRenderer loads the images in REAL-TIME <--- this is important for the issue that I am going to point out. The image got displayed when I run the app ,and when I print the dataGrid by having it as a child of FlexPrintJob object will also print out the image. Now here comes the problem: As you all know, it's better to use PrintDataGrid for optimization, well-formatted output, yada yada .... So I include PrintDataGrid in my print function, assigning it with the neccessary dataProvider and columns, here's the example: --------------------------------------------------------- printView.thePrintDataGrid.dataProvider = dataGridSource.dataProvider; printView.thePrintDataGrid.columns = dataGridSource.columns; --------------------------------------------------------- And then add printView to the FlexPrintJob obj as its child: --------------------------------------------------------- printJob.addObject(printView); --------------------------------------------------------- After that, I ask the dataGrid to be printed again and the image won't be printed out. So after quite long investigation, I found out that the images don't get displayed because thePrintDataGrid doesn't have enough time to load the images. If I embed the image in compile-time using @Embed yada..yada..., the image will be printed but I don't want it to be in compile-time. Please enlighten this grasshopper. So
