Hi all

I have a flash CS4 AS 3.0 scene with one frame only. The scene contains text fields, comboboxes and a datagrid.  
I want to print the [COLOR=red]content[/COLOR] of the text fields, comboboxes (the [COLOR=red]selected[/COLOR] value) and datagrid [COLOR=red]contents[/COLOR].  
I’ve searched the internet but could not find adequate information.

The following commands print the [COLOR=seagreen]firstName\_txt [/COLOR][COLOR=black]text field only if I convert it to a movie clip first.[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=blue] var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();  
myPrintJob.start();  
myPrintJob.addPage(firstName\_txt);  
myPrintJob.send();  
[/COLOR]Isn’t there a way to access the and print the text field content directly ie:  
myPrintJob.addPage(firstName\_txt.text);

I have the same problem with the datagrid. Using the following  
[COLOR=blue]myPrintJob.addPage(datagrid);[/COLOR]  
prints the datagrid like a screen shot with separating borders.

But what if I want to print one row of a datagrid and without the borders?

Thanks
