Jeff: We're a little confused as to what problem you're really trying to solve here . . .
I just tried the printing wizard (in XP's Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) application--I assume that's what you're referring to. When I tried the 'Wallet Prints' option, it scaled and rotated the image. It did NOT appear to affect the borders. And the image printed _with_ a border. Perhaps more to the point, AFAIK, the ability to print content *without a border* is a function of the brand/model of printer that one is printing to; it cannot be 'forced' by the software if the (printer) hardware doesn't support it. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't appear that Flex/Flash can programmatically specify that option. (Assuming that a user _does_ have a printer which supports border-less printing.) The Adobe documentation says: "Flash Player and AIR can read an operating system's printing settings, but note that these properties are read-only: although you can respond to their values, you can't set them. So, for example, you can find out the printer's page size setting and adjust your content to fit the size. You can also determine a printer's margin settings and page orientation." I don't know if above is true from personal experience, however, so maybe some flexcoders readers who have done this would like to chime in here . . . --Jim --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Jeff Hindman" <jake...@...> wrote: > > Flex & AIR gurus, > > Is it possible to force printing to be borderless without setting it > in the printer dialog box?
