I don't know the resolution but I can see why this is happening.
The sprite capture will just capture the screen area and what was within the rectangle during the snapshot. It doesn't care or know what components are under the sprite rectangle. This guy talks about the issue a bit: http://mildlyannoyedaussie.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/flex-printing-breakt hrough-and-more/ I've been thinking about printing since this is something I will have to do in the future as well. I'm actually considering building a .PDF file which could be printed or downloaded. sj ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ramalingam G Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 9:14 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] How to print full content of TextArea component ?

But, I want to print full contents of the TextArea. private function print():void{ var printResult:PrintJob = new PrintJob(); var output:Sprite = new Sprite(); var rect1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0); output = Sprite(Result); if(printResult.start()){ printResult.addPage(output, rect1); printResult.send(); } else printResult = null; } <s:TextArea id="Result" height="327" width="290" fontSize="18" paddingBottom="6" fontFamily="Arial" x="13" y="28" editable="false" contentBackgroundColor="#A8C6AE" borderVisible="false" textAlign="right" fontWeight="normal"/> <s:Button x="13" y="366" id="Print" label="Print" width="49" height="30" click="print();" toolTip="CTRL + P"/> Any one can help me?
