  True, I should have prefixed that with... "with the Flash Player"

I think AIR 2.0 will let you get around it.

Gk.


I print with Flex using FlexPrintJob.

Do you think if it is possible for me to print without print Dialog?

Thanks

Hi. I remember that MDM Zinc offered this (only for texts, not graphics) at
some point (of course, only for desktop applications). Other than that, I'd
say that if it is a browser based application, it should not be possible,
and if it's a desktop, you should be looking into making some custom wrapper
+ send it serialized data, like, maybe PDF or try to generate PS files...
both ways it looks like rather complex task.
