FlexReport

Having a bit of trouble running this in Flex 3. Starts out fine, but if you change pages and go back, the page isn’t there. I’m searching through everything now, but if you have a suspicion, please let me know.

If you use next/previous pages disappear? I’ll see if I can reproduce the issue on FB3. You can take a look at Document.as, since it’s where the pages are created and stored.

It seems that returning to page previously viewed is causing the bitmapData to go null. Not sure why yet. Still tracking it down.

having the same issue…also, can you pass html tables or a datagrid?

I’ll try to solve the issue with FB3 as soon as possible. To print grids use PrintDatagrid (similar to PrintTextArea).

I’ve solved it not working in Flex 3. Works a treat now. I also optimized a few things. Not much, but every little bit counts. Shoot me an email and I’ll pack it up and send it to you tomorrow around my lunch time. I’d love to lend you a hand with this thing as it evolves, if you’re open to that.

Hi !

I don’t test your project. But I want to inform you about a project whose name is Jasper4Flex. It’s a new export engine for the JasperReports libraries that can export a report for a flex application.

I just want to know what are the big deferences between our vision and Jasper4Flex ?

Hi have started a site that you could be interested in using to share and promote your work. Its http://www.wscoop.com it is basically a digg styled site solely dedicated to quality web design and development.

Have a look see what you think, if you could some post links/articles that would be absolutely fantastic.

Thanks Paul

When I try to use a PrintDataGrid, it’s giving me: “The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.” Any way you could post an example of printing to a PrintDataGrid using FlexReport?

Thanks!

I’ve done some experiments with the FlexReport. It’s very promising except I can’t get the PDF-export to work for anything else than the current chosen page in the preview. Though the number of pages is correct (but it repeats the same page). Is this a known bug?
Thanks /Jesper

I see a lot of potential in this product. I’ve played with it in an application I’m currently working on, but I’m having an issue. In both the example, and my usage I’m getting a blank page following every page. I’ve tried adjusting the report width and height to what printJob reports for my printer, but it hasn’t helped. Any thoughts?

Got it sorted. The guestimate values for the document template values weren’t matching what our printer actually wanted. Added the following values to doPrint in the Document class after the printJob is started.

template.height = printJob.pageHeight;
template.width = printJob.pageWidth;

The print preview is now only an estimate, but printing works correctly every time.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the bug report and fix. This issue is related to Flash printing API and can’t figure out a way to address it right. I don’t understand why can’t we set the page width/height from as3, it wouldn’t present a security risk.

I’m hoping printing capabilities in Flash get improved. In the meanwhile i’ll add your fix to the codebase.

This doesn’t work. Flex 3 produces error “1172 Definition… could not be found.” The flex 3 auto-populates when you type “org.alivepdf.saving.Method;”; however, once you try to compile, error 1172 creeps up. Obviously the source ZIP doesn’t has AlivePDF in the root “org”, and it would make sense to move it into the org folder… but I when I do I still receive the error.

Hi Chayan,

You should checkout the latest version from svn on googlecode. The version currently available as zip was released before the final version of FB3 and as such was only tested with FB2.

If you want to use the old version you just need to add Alive.swc to your project’s library path.

Thanks Frederico!

Can anybody tell me how to export report in PDF format in flex3

I want to control my printing Doc Size

How can I control?

I have to do very complex printing in my flex project. so after struggling a lot with flexprintjob I switched to FlexReport.
Its solved my problem 80%. the rest 20% has to do with PrintDatagrid. when i am using PrintDataGrid the rendering is not correct. Do you have an example of how do we use PrintDataGrid in FlexReport.

I’m trying to find the download link but I can’t seem to find it … am I missing something?

Has anyone been able to print a multi-page textarea with a header and footer on each page?

Hi,

Many thanks for your fantastic work. It was realy needed to complete the flex toolbox.

I checkouted the last version of flexreport but is there an associated documentation ?

Why is the swc so big? Will this cause our projects to grow by almost 1 mb? The swc is over 800k. Cairngorm is a few k - ?

wtf? What is idmedia.as3commons and all this other shit it depends on? Is this supposed to be overriding the default Flex SDK classes or something???? No thanks!

Take that HashMap crap out and just use an Object or Dictionary, dump that stupid library.

I dunno what’s going on yet but something’s kinda screwy with adding this swc to a project. Is this not FB2 compatible or something? hm

Hi “Nobody”,

As you may have noticed this is a FREE and OPEN SOURCE project. No one forces you to use it, let alone like it. If there’s stuff you believe that could be improved in FlexReport you can always do that changes by yourself and send them to me. Your contribution is more than welcomed and all credits will be given.

Hope to ear from you soon…

hehe

j/k I was just messin with ya to see if you’re still active on this. I was able to resolve the issues so far after taking some time.

I’ve gotten this partially working but when I use PaperFormat.LETTER it crashes in Page.mxml:90 - End of File encountered. The byte array wasn’t big enough to fill the bitmap?

Thanks

Hi
is there a way to insert a page break into the body of the report. I have a PrintDataGrid that has to be the only component on the page.

Thanks

HELLO - You need to change the height and width in the report tag of template to match the page size for LETTER as found in PaperFormat.as (792, 1224)

But I need to insert a page break into my report as well.

Paul

I have an odd problem. When I change to PaperFormat.LETTER the main part of the previewer displays smeared lines that are unreadable. When I change it to A4 everything works great. When I print it looks good as well.

If I send to PDF I get the same results, everything is smeared. I am running the latest SVN as of today.

Any Ideas?

Paul

Hi,

first, great library.

I have few questions:
1. Does the library support multi languages ?
my application, needs to support RTL languages also.
is it possible ?
2. Can i configure the application not to show specific controls ?
for example, not to show the button which save it as PDF file.

thanks,
Eran.

I screwed up above when I specified (792, 1224) which caused my problem mentioned in the subsequent post. Letter is [612, 792]. Sorry for the confusion.

I am still looking for a method to insert page breaks into the data stream feeding the report however.

Paul
