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

[Paul Steven]

Thanks to everyone for the help on the print problem. I will try out your
suggestions though I have as a temporary measure just written the text to a
text file and immediately opened it. That way it can then be printed using
the default print functionality of the text editing app.

Here is some code we use to slice up a long list and print on X# of 
pages. You should be able to do somethink like this...
Hope the code gets formated ok

// Add 2nd page displaying names of selected organizations
var selectedOrgList:List = new List();
selectedOrgList.setActualSize(printJob.pageHeight, 
printJob.pageWidth);
selectedOrgList.setStyle("fontSize","8");
//selectedOrgList.dataProvider = orgList.selectedItems;
var facilitiesPerPage:int = RECORDS_PER_PAGE;
if (printJob.pageHeight < printJob.pageWidth)
{ //height is less than width so we are in landscape mode and 
can't fit as many records per page
facilitiesPerPage = LS_RECORDS_PER_PAGE;
}
selectedOrgList.rowCount = facilitiesPerPage;

var pageCount:int = Math.ceil(orgList.selectedItems.length / 
facilitiesPerPage) ;

var printFacilityViewHolder:Array = new Array();
chartTitle = chartTitle + "\nFacility List";
var sortedOrgs:Array = orgList.selectedItems;
sortedOrgs.sortOn("name");
for (var loopCtr:int = 0; loopCtr < pageCount; loopCtr++) {
var pfv:PrintFacilityView = new PrintFacilityView();
addChild(pfv);
pfv.setDimensions(printJob.pageHeight, printJob.pageWidth);
var startIndex:int = facilitiesPerPage * loopCtr;
var endIndex:int = facilitiesPerPage * (loopCtr + 1);
var pagedOrgList:Array = 
sortedOrgs.slice(startIndex, endIndex);
selectedOrgList.styleName = "facilityListStyle";
selectedOrgList.dataProvider = pagedOrgList;
selectedOrgList.labelField = "name";

pfv.facilityListView.addChild(selectedOrgList);
pfv.setChartTitle(chartTitle + " (" + (loopCtr + 1) + " of " 
+ pageCount + ")"); 
printFacilityViewHolder[loopCtr] = pfv;
printJob.addObject(pfv, FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
} 
//And send the job to the printer.
printJob.send(); 
//make the print view invisible then remove it
printView.visible = false;

//ATD 10/23/2006 changed to call removeChild from 
printView.facilityListView not printView....
for (loopCtr = 0; loopCtr < pageCount; loopCtr++) {
removeChild(printFacilityViewHolder[loopCtr]);
} 

removeChild(printView);
//selectedOrgList.visible = false;
//restore the regionChartStack to its original condition
restoreStack(chartSwitch, stackSelected);
