RE: [flexcoders] Printing a large string over multiple pages

Look at the source for PrintDataGrid.  You should be able to use the
same pattern for TextArea

Still desperately trying to find a solution to this!

 

How can I print a text field that contains more than one page worth of
text over multiple pages?

 

Thanks

 

Paul

I am printing a large string and it is only printing one page worth of
the string data. Ideally I would like it to print the entire string
using as many pages as it requires to print out the entire contents. Any
help much appreciated!!

 

This is my print function code:

 

private function doPrint():void {


                                                

                var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob(); 

                                                                

                var formPrintView:SubmissionReport = new
SubmissionReport();

                addChild(formPrintView);


                                                                

                var todayDate:Date = new Date();

                                                                

                formPrintView.detailUsername.text =
_session.getSessionUsername();

                formPrintView.detailDate.text = String(todayDate);

                formPrintView.detailcontent.text =
_session.returnSubmissionReportText()

                                                                

                printJob.start();

                                                                

                printJob.addObject(formPrintView);


                                                                

                printJob.send();


                                                                

                removeChild(formPrintView);

                                                                

                                                                

}
