Robert, I'm creeping on your Calhoun county Flex Viewer, and see that you are generating reports from a selected parcel that includes the map selection, and data-driven table. Can you expose or at least explain the mechanisms you are using to generate these reports?
Its obviously not an ArcGIS GP Print function.
Are you generating these witha .NET call to the server and then populating HTML? and then embedding the CDATA back into a widget? If so, are you using the JSON to bring in the map "screen shot"

Nathan,

    The general steps on my site are this, the selected parcel has a unique parcel id number in the graphics attributes and that PPIN is sent to a .Net web service that returns XML data from my CAMA system and that returned XML is parsed in Flex and a 100% pure Flex report is generated using flex components (such as border containers, labels, images, spark primitive lines, etc) and custom flex components I created. I have utility functions in Flex for adding the report items line by line. The mp on the report is just added using a simple line of code to get bitmapdata for a images source:

var bmpMap:BitmapData = ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(map);


    Everything about my reporting system is way to data specific for me to share code on though. I did share this in the past but as everyone likely knows I am not a novice flex programmer so the inner works of that code is pretty advanced and I don't have the time to walk people through it.
