how do i print a dynamic text. i.e I have a main.swf movie that loads external.swf within external.swf there is a text box with a scroll bar and i need to add a print command that prints only that text field

the code that i added to a buttons looks something like this


on (release) {
printNum(0, "bmovie");
}


but it prints all pages aND I NEED ONLY THAT TEXT AREA.

THANX

hm........ i dont think thats really possible... except if you probably draw a box as big as the stage using the drawing API, and then create a text field with createTextField() that will contain whatever's stored in the variable... dunno,, not a really good way but it works, and i cant think of another...

or.. simply have a new frame with the text box only.. would that work?
