I’m trying to print a varying amount of data, 1 - 137 pages of information, depending on where you are in my .swf movie. I can print smaller amounts of data, but when I try to print larger amounts, I recieve the timeout error. here’s my code

```auto
var spArray:Array = [];
var spp:Sprite = new Sprite();

var storeTime:Number = 0;
var storeDifference:Number = 0;
var storeDifference2:Number = 0;
function printAll2(e:MouseEvent){
	spArray = [];	
	var spLoad:Loader = new Loader();
	trace(xml.child("*").length());
	for(var i:int = 0; i < xml.child("*").length(); i++){
		for(var j:int = 0; j < xml.child(i).child("*").length(); j++){
			var strrr:String = new String(xml.child(i).child(j).@url.toString());
			var spURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(strrr);
			spLoad = new Loader();
			spLoad.load(spURL);
			spp = new Sprite();
			spp.addChild(spLoad);
			spp.name = xml.child(i).child(j).@id;
			spArray.push(spp);
			addChild(spp);
			spp.x = stage.stageWidth + 10;
		}
	}
	var time:int = 1000;
	setTimeout(buffer, time);
}
var iii:int = 0;
function buffer(){
	printEverything();
}
function printEverything(){
	iii = 0;
	var startPrint2:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
	var rect2:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 600, 800);
	var options:PrintJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
	options.printAsBitmap = false;
	trace(getTimer()+ " = getTimer()");
	var boo3:Boolean = startPrint2.start();
	trace(boo3 + " = boo3" );
	if (boo3) {
		while(iii<spArray.length){
			trace(iii + " = iii spArray.length = " + spArray.length + " " + getTimer()+ " = getTimer()");
		    startPrint2.addPage(spArray[iii], rect2, options);
			iii += 1;
		}
		startPrint2.send();		
	}
}

```

If I remove the timeOut functions, all 137 pages will spool, but they will only be pages that are completely blue. With the smaller sections(a different set of code than I had previously provided), The timeout function seems to work, although My latest tests have pages not being spooled to the printer.

Notice from the code example how I am loading the .swfs (the urls are stored in an xml file)before I am spooling to the printer app.

I’m using PrimoPDF to ‘print’ the pages. I was using AdobePDF but it is behaving differently from PrimoPDF in that it will not print the complete section where PrimoPDF will. Bizarre.

Here’s how I feel: Ⓜ

Any help would be truly appreciated.
