Printing Multipage RichEditableText HTML text

Hi All

I have a RichEditableText control that display HTML text that's readin from a multi-page html file.

What's the best way to Print this text control?

I try adding the control to the Flex print job, it will print but cut text at the end of page.

I also like to have a page header and page count. Is there any way I can tell the TLF to break it into Multipage?

Another idea is to launch an external browser with the html file in it and somehow tell that to print.

Not sure how but it sounds a bit simpler.

Any idea?

Thanks

I think most of the jobs need to be done by yourself.

TLF can only layout and display one textflow in one or several linked containers(Sprite), RichEditableText is also a kind of Sprite. One container can be divied into columns. What's more, you can locate your container anywhere.

Flash does have some support for printing. It's not specific to TLF, so I don't know very much about it, but you could try looking at flash.printing package. One thing it won't do is reformat for the page size; if that's something you want, you'll have to create a different stage that's a different size, lay the text out on that, and then print it.

Hope this helps,
