Re: [Flashcoders] Printing table receipt with Flex
Thanks all for the replies... However a datagrid would not be a good idea because it would show scrollbars if any, also what is printed it is not shown into the appliaction... Cor your Idea is good I'll try that. Cheerz On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 11:41 PM, Anthony Pace anthony.p...@utoronto.cawrote: Why not treat the textfield as a cell with absolute positioning?
