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.

So, would it expand to an entire musical?
