I’m trying to use the print function in a button, a.s. below:

on(press){  
**print(\_root.instance\_1, “bframe”);**  
}

This works fine…the mc “instance\_1” is the only thing that prints. The problem is that I need to print 2 movieclips at once. So I have tried the following:

on(press){  
**print(\_root.instance\_1+\_root.instance\_2, “bframe”);**  
}

on(press){  
**print(\_root.instance\_1&\_root.instance\_2, “bframe”);**  
}

on(press){  
**print(\_root.instance\_1 and \_root.instance\_2, “bframe”);**  
}

on(press){  
**print((\_root.instance\_1,\_root.instance\_2), “bframe”);**  
}

None of these work though, the entire movie prints instead.  
…any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
