[flexcoders] Re: FlexPrintJob - Very Hit Miss
Hi, Thank you for this advice. I have a similar problem and have tried to follow your advice. However I have tried everything I can think of to make Flex and its asynchronous events wait for the image load before adding the next rendered page to the printjob using addObject. How can you make the Flash Player wait for these events before adding the page endered with the images correctly loaded? I have noted that the otherwise good code for printing in the Flexreport component only seems to use embedded images.

If you want 100%, then you have also to check the parent container updateComplete event.

In my case, it was size related. Smaller images were fine but larger ones could be problematic, and the behavior was restricted to the Adobe PDF printer driver.

Due to a bug in FlashPlayer, you can't wait. Preload images before starting the print job From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of thatstephen Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 8:54 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: FlexPrintJob - Very Hit Miss Hi, Thank you for this advice.

Are you directly printing the loaded bitmap or passing it into SWFLoader/Image?

RE: [flexcoders] RE: FlexPrintJob - Very Hit Miss
I'm printing a VBox which contains the loaded image + a Text control below it. Works fine to a normal printer - acts very buggy with PDF driver. Actually with a regular printer, when I set the scaling to SHOW_ALL, the Text does not print. It happens that the image is very long (about 3 pages on a normal printer).
