I have a text field and when a user clicks print I need that textfield to be printed. I tried using this code:

```auto
 
 
on (release) {
 var summaryPrint:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
 summaryPrint.start();
 summaryPrint.addPage("summary_txt", null, null, 0);
 summaryPrint.send();
}

```

But it cuts off half the textfield as it is bigger than a4 - is there anyway of getting the text so that it all prints on a4?

Thanks!:yoshi:
