[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Dear Flash users,

Does anyone knows how to code the actionscript that prints out  
the contents in a dynamic textbox (instance name:scroller). The  
contents are loaded externally from a text file onto a movie clip  
(instance name: placeholder).

I’ve been trying to use the following code:[/size][/font]  
[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]  
[/size][/font]

```auto

btnPrint1.onRelease = function() {
	print("_root.placeHolder", "bframe"); 
};

```

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]

But it just capture and print the visible area of the movie, and  
did not print the complete text inside the dynamic box.  
I want to print out only all the text in that dynamic box.  
Can anyone please help me with this?  
Thanks a million…[/size][/font]
