AIR with full screen - Print Dialog hidden
I had an annoying issue yesterday where I discovered that if I called Flash's print function (via PrintJob) in a full screen AIR app the print dialog wouldn't be shown - it would appear behind the main app window.
Took a bit of hunting around, but eventually I discovered that it was a simple case of setting:alwaysInFront=false;
on the main AIR window (my main WindowedApplication).
Why it should have been set to true by default I have no idea.
Thought this might be useful for other people!
P.S. As an addendum, Flash/AIR still has major issues while printing, all to do with windowing and the print dialog. In the end we just couldn't get it to work acceptably in full screen - so now when you print from our app we have to switch out of full screen, present the print dialog and then switch back in. Very irritating, with no native Flash/AIR workarounds.
