Hi, I have issue with print transparent vector fill with prinJob. If I print transparent png, everything works,but when I have transparent fill in vector graphics, everything behind it is not printed, but grey area (color without transparency) is printed instead. I try to print it via PDF printer to PDF first and then print PDF itself, but I have same problem. I've tested it with different printers, no printer prints transparent vector fill correctly so it seems it's Flash problem. Do you have any advice or workaround? Thank you

If you can isolate the problem,

try to draw your vector fill content into a bmpdata object and add it manually to the printjob.

Similar to the way its described here: http://www.pressingquestion.com/3535910/Air-Printjob---Print-Transparent-Png-And-Text-In-Vector

I can't...it's vector map generated on server... it's flash maps and I have 2 possibilities..to draw PNG of map, which works correctly, but when user want better print resolution or save to PDF, I'm using vector data, which works nicely, but transparency problems.... so I can not use your proposed solution. But thank you for suggestion
