Javascript Print via ExternalInterface

[Steven Pena]

Is it possible to surface the printChart function of the Chart class to Javascript via the ExternalInterface? This would allow us to present an alternative interface to print from (link, button...) outside of the chart.

 

 

 

It's not very intuitive to ask the user to right-click and then select print, to print a chart. And as you have noted in several posts - you aren't responsible for browser printing (which isn't reliable across browsers).

 

 

 

You should only need to add this line to the Chart constructor:

 

/**

* expose printChart function to Javascript

*/

flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("PrintChart", this, printChart);

 

Thanks,

Great suggestion!. I really miss the ability to print by scripting.

Currently, we do not have this option. However, we'll add it in our next version.
