I need to print a movieclip with some text and images in it and it’s working fine with the print button I created. My problem is that when it prints, it prints the background colour of the overall movie, which is black in this case and it will waste ink unnecessarily. I just want to print the contents without having to print the background colour.  
Thanks in advance.
