Very cool idea Haikal! Certainly seems the best option for text printing,
I'm going to try it one day.
thanks,

Hey guys thanks for the code and input.
The route I think I'm taking because it's html text and formatted, is to
keep trimming at br's and checking if page is not too high.
The page to print symbol I'm using has an aspect ratio for an A4 page (1:
1.414) and one big html text field (with 20px
My approach to printing oodles of multiline text is to let the browser
do it:
* When the print button is pressed, save the contents of the text
field to a Local Shared Object
* Open up an empty HTML page, which has as invisible flash movie
which can then:

I have the same problem as the original poster.
I don't suppose anyone can provide more info as a solution than Hans, or
Hans if you're there I would love to see some code.
What are flash mc dimensions to match an A4 page? Doesn't it vary according
to screen resolution?
How can you
Yeah, I asked this question on Flexcoders but got no answer at all.
Any code would be greatly appreciated :)
The funny thing is this printing a block of multipage text seems like
such a basic thing but there are no examples in the docs and it seems
as thought this issue was never considered as a
my solution is scrolling the text and printing as you go, here's the
function.
(beware though, it's been ages since writing this, it works tho)
function buildPrinter() {
_root.print.onPress = function() {
var p_length = Math.round(Math.floor
_root.test is the textfield, _root.line_length is the lines fitting on one
page.
good luck!

How can you efficiently fill a textfield to the point in which you know it
is completely full?
Here's a revised version using a word array. But as I said, including
formatting would be more difficult and significantly slower. I tend to agree
with Meinte that in this case you're better off using
You get your text from the textarea and you do this:
Dynamically attach a movieclip from the library with a preformatted
textfield that exactly fits an A4 page (set movieclip to _visible = false to
do it invisibly)
and fill the textfield up with the text from your textarea until the
textfield is
