I could really use some major advice here. We're so close to the finishing point on this project, and we're being held back by stupid printing problems... We have to be able to print with no pop-up dialog boxes, and the choice of which printer to send the job to will be affected by the data

AIR does give more control over printing. AIR requires installation, a web-hosted app does not. I don’t know the security rules that well, but it isn’t clear how you prevent someone from installing the app and accessing your server unless you require authentication first. On 8/31/10 1:10

I have a question regarding the implementation of a Time Series chart in Flex. These charts are used for reporting purposes. Does flex charting do any of interpolation, extrapolation or smoothening of plotted series based on the data? Or the data provided for chart should take care of this.

Yes. That's precisely what I'm doing. Only, looking at the code now I realize most of the time I'm using nested functions (with names) rather than anonymous functions. I'm not sure what the implications are of using one over another are but, regardless, I gather you're suggesting this is a

I don’t like anonymous functions, nested functions or whatever you want to call function instances. Everything on the callstack is referenced by the scope-chain/activation object until the function instance can be GC’d. Once you call removeEventLIstener, then the scope-chain goes away, but

I don’t know if there are any differences. I did a quick search and didn’t see any links to articles complaining about it or explaining how to do it so I’m going to guess that it works as expected. There are Security WhitePapers on the Adobe site if you want to read more about AIR security.
