Actually that sounds pretty good, and I would prefer an open source solution as well. Regarding the strict setup requirements: using a ClearBI trial I found it extremely difficult adapting a copy of our already existing Flex 2 application's environment to meet the needed requirements. Almost

Actually for now I'll probably be resorting to PDF generation only and *maybe* direct printing using a regular PrintDataGrid. FlexReport just seems to have too many issues and I'm tired of addressing them. Probably best to use a Java pdf generator, I don't see the use in sending all data over t

I understand that a "ready to go" solution, that requires minimal configuration/customization, will only meet a small number of developer's needs. I would imagine that most people, after getting such a ready to use solution working, would then start extending, overriding, and adding their own c

Well you're right that I *could* probably meet my basic requirements simply using pdf generation (although it'd be server side/java), although custom reporting options would still take some work. But actually showing the user a print preview of what they're going to see, within the running swf,

The version without plugins (pure AIR application with UI editor, but you can use Flex or vi to edit reports in source ) is coming this summer. I will be showing the final release on 8/19 in NYC ( http://www.eventbrite.com/event/126384018) among other reporting goodies like generating complete repo

Well, I know we'd be willing to purchase a reporting tool for a cost on par with the cost of Flex Builder. And it wouldn't need to be a "catch all, generate all" sophisticated solution like ClearBI. I'd be happy with just an SWC reporting library. Just add some component(s) from the SWC, setup

So you're saying that others are using 3rd party tools for reports? Unless we can find one that lets us somehow load a swf in our Flex app (doubt it), that option stinks because you'll basically be using an entirely different application for reporting! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Derric
