RE: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem
I solved this by adding a cretionComplete event listener to the canvas
object. This fired another function that did the printing.

Subject: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem
Hi
I am trying to print a list of ID's from a canvas. I have the following
code:
private function printMovies(e:Event):void
{
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if(printJob.start()){
var printCanvas:Canvas = new Canvas();
var txtApprovedList:Text = new Text();
txtApprovedList.width = printJob.pageWidth;
txtApprovedList.text = textstring;
code for generating string
printCanvas.addChild(txtApprovedList);
printCanvas.setStyle(backgroundColor,0xFF);
this.parentApplication.MainPanel.addChild(printCanvas); //just so I can see
it renders OK, will be removed
printJob.addObject(printCanvas);
printJob.send();
}
}
With the last 2 lines commented out I get the print dialogue then when I
click print the canvas appears with the text in. With the last 2 lines not
commented out I get the print dialogue but when I hit print nothing happens,
no canvas or text appears and nothing prints.
This code does work if I just add the Text Object (not the canvas) to print
but then the text has a grey background.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins
Since there doesn't appear to be any follow-up to this topic, I'll provide
an example. I recently started working with printing (using 2.0.1) and
noticed this problem of the background colour bleeding through into the
margin of the printed output. This might be printer/driver specific,
though. It happens on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer, but doesn't happen
when I print to a PDF using CutePDF Writer. A quick example follows below.
It would be good to know if this happens with other people's printers, and
hopefully someone has a workaround.

{
var job: FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
job.printAsBitmap = false;
if (job.start())
{
job.addObject(preview, FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL);
job.send();
}
}

Are you by any chance mentioning the corners that show the bg color,
specially when the component has rounded corners?

Re: [flexcoders] FlexPrintJob problem: application background colors showing in margins
Hi, I'm having a similar problem. The effect that i'm getting is that it prints a line depending on the fit done when the component is rendered. As i'm using FlexPrintJobScaleType.SHOW_ALL, some reports are scaled with MATCH_HEIGHT and others with MATCH_WIDTH. When the print job is scaled to fit the width, a vertical line is printed at the right of the paper, and when the job is scaled to height the line is printed horizontally at the bottom of the page. I assume that this line is the background as it haves the same width or height than the printed component. Any clue? thanks for the info Luciano On 11/5/06, Tom Bray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The background color of my application is printing in the margins of the page when I print my component in landscape mode.
