IE 9 issue
Hi All,
My app load with vertical and horizontal scrolls in IE 9.0.8. Looks fine in
firefox.
Here is my code:
index.cfm
<http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/file/n3973/index.cfm>
It is the regular page created by flash builder but use coldfusion to load
the page as cfm.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
we use Alive PDF to create PDF in our Flex Mobile & Web apps.
It's really powerful and you can check out an example of the high quality
documents you can create here:

Just one more important think, it's free.... ;)

Yes, that's why I used the quotes :) As you said, the "print" media query
has been arround for a while, but finally in CSS3 some bright minds though
that you would surely need to define a "page" and margins (and headers,
footers, and so on) for real world printing :)
Have a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/. I've tested with more or
less good results in IE8+, Chrome and Safari: the basics are covered in all
of them, advanced features vary of course, as always ;)
And for the job size, I'm affraid you'll just have to try, but if you''re
talking about a lot of numbers, I "believe" flex will just send the font to
the printer and then all the plain data, so there shouldn't be a problem
with the printing size. Again, just try, a quick and dirty implementation
in native flex wouldn't take you more than 10 lines of code :)
Cheers ;)

thanks, you are right
i was wondering if flex-printing can handle large "print outs"
(i will have to print not too small dynamic data tables)
generating a css-html file with php sounds good too (using html templates)
what do you mean with new css3 print media?
@media print was in css2(css1?) too?
has css3 more stuff for printing? i will google.

Re: printing

If you just need to print, and leaving PDF generation on the user side just
like most software do, why not using Flex native printing capabilities?
I've not used them in a while, but in 2009 they were good enough for
proffesional formatting a dinamic 20 page document, and quite simple to
use.
Just invoke the prepareForPrinting methods, add your objects, set your
bounding box scaling method, and you're done: the user is then presented
the printing dialog box, selects the preferred printer (or PDF document
writer if that's the case), and prints just like any other software.
There're plenty of samples online, and I can tell you that it just works as
expected, with really good results.
I think this approach is much simpler than:
1. Deciding a framework for PDF generation, and paying for it if it's not
free
2. Getting to know that framework
3. Generating the PDF
4. Downloading the generated PDF on the user side
5. Opening the generated PDF
6. And then finally print :)
Another possible approach: have you had a look at the "new" CSS3 print
media for HTML? They're quite well supported in all current browsers, with
really good results. You could easily generate just simple HTML code for
your docs, apply a CSS style sheet with print media definitions, and again
let the user decide if he/she wants to paper print it or generate a PDF.
Just my two cents ;)

for us, where all our flex apps have server backends, we use iText w/coldfusion
or java.

I'm using Flex+Java Applet+Javascript to can print directly on the
printer without the screen asking to print, and also be able to print on
Matrix Printers.

No idea. Maybe some sort of DOCTYPE is required.

Alex,
In the cfm file I removed the first line:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I put this line back and now it works fine in IE, any explanation?
Thanks!

I would dump out the resulting HTML. IE 9 has a debugger mode that I
think shows you the DOM. You can compare to the working HTML version.

Alex,
If I use the same file with extension HTML, it works. Something doesn't
apply when I use the cfm file, very weird.

You might try tracing out the systemManager.stage.stageWidth & stageHeight
and the Application's width and height and see if it is the same where it
works and where it doesn't.

What is the width/height settings on the Application tag? If you set it
to particular numbers, differences in non-content area might make a
slightly smaller content area.
