It was to print multiple pages in Flex.

I know what you are thinking right now. Why should I care printing in Flex? Is Flex supposed to be used for creating cool stuffs rather than this kind of low-level system function? That was exactly what I thought at that time. But job is job, especially when the pay is good.

The interesting thing is I actually learned a lot from this printing job. Because it touched many key areas of Flex framework, such as: Container Framework, Component Construction, and Layout Management. The fact is, once you know something from inside out, you will feel some fun of doing it.

Over the next week, I want to write a series of 4 tutorials about How to Print in Flex. Here are the topics we will be covering:

  1. Using Flex Build-in Print Function
  2. Printing Multiple Pages using PrintDataGrid
  3. Printing Multiple Pages using FlexReport
  4. Understanding Flex Print Job from A to Z

To follow along with this series, make sure you subscribe to our RSS feed or bookmark and come back to this page.

Stay tuned for the next post of this tutorial series on Using Flex Build-in Print Function.
