Autoflow text to Printer Object

[meester]

I've managed to print and printpreview some text and images.
But there's something not quit working when I'm printing a large text variable.
When I reach the end of the page, the rest of the variable should be printed on the next page. But it doesn't.

How can I make this work?

Must I divide the var into two seperate vars?
How do I know where to split the var?
Or is there a function I can call to do this automaticly?

[SWFKit]

The current version has no such functions. We will provide the feature in SWFKit Pro 2.2. You have to split the var into two seperate parts in version 2.1.

me too facing the same prom?
pl provide an example how to accomplish this.

[SWFKit]

The developing edition of SWFKit at http://www.swfkit.com/download/swfkit.exe has the following two methods

1. getWrappedTextExtent(text, columnWidth[, tabstop[, wordwrap]])
Get the text extent that will be drawn in a column. The tabstop and wordwrap are two optional parameters. The tabstop parameter specifies the tab stop position, the default value is -1. The default value of wordwrap paramter is true.


2. printText2(text, left, top, width, height[, tabstop[, wordwrap]]
Print text in a rectangle. The default value of tabstop is -1, the default value of wordwrap is true.

If the text is too long to draw in the rectangle, the printText2 method will returns the remain charactors.

var string = "";
for (i = 0; i < 26; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < 3000; j++)
string += String.fromCharCode(65 + i);
}

var strToBePrinted;


Printer.onNewPage = function (page)
{
if (page == 1)
{
strToBePrinted = string;
this.continuePrinting = true;

return;
}

if (strToBePrinted == "") this.continuePrinting = false;
}

Printer.onPrint = function (page)
{    // put the image on the center of the paper
    var width = this.pageWidth;
    var height = this.pageHeight;
    
    var font = new FontObject;
    font.size = 12;
    font.name = "System";
    font.color = 0xFF0000;
    
    this.font = font;

strToBePrinted = this.printText2(strToBePrinted, 0, 0, width, height);
}

Printer.printPreview();
