Thanks, I actually was able to fix that first problem (solution is
below, please let me know if there's a better way) but now I have
another slight problem when printing the DataGrid. IF I keep
variableRowHeight set to true, it really doesn't do a good job. It
seems to cut off some of the rows that may have a little more text
than the rest. If I set it to false, it prints okay but all are the
largest size. Any ideas how to fix this?
DETAILS FIX ON THE HIDDEN PRINT PAGE:
public function resizeTextBoxes(e:Event):void {
e.target.height = e.target.height + 10;
}
<mx:Text id="descText" text="{_ADL.getItemAt
(0).deploymentDescription}" width="80%" selectable="false"
styleName="detailPrintStyle" creationComplete="resizeTextBoxes
(event)"/>
