Text inside a rectangle

1

hi,

I need to access the text inside the moieclip… i am creating a emptymovieclip(name : _root.holder.contentMC)
in this i am loading a swf file… now i am creating another movieclip as _root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1… the drawrect1 movieclip is used for drawing a rectangle in that swf file… (for ex: in PDF file we will draw a rectangle to select the text)

problem:

now i need to get the text availabgle inside the drwarect1 movieclip… i dont know how to do this … if any help much appreciated

code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“holder”,_root.getNextH ighestDepth());
_root.holder.createEmptyMovieClip(“contentMC”,_roo t.holder.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.holder.contentMC.loadMovie(“67.swf”);

var startX = 0;
var startY = 0;

var listener:Object = new Object(_root.holder);

Mouse.addListener(listener);
remove_mouse_listener();
listener.onMouseDown = function() {

startX = _xmouse;
startY = _ymouse;

_root.holder.contentMC.createEmptyMovieClip("drawR  ect1",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
//trace(_root.holder.drawRect1.contentMC.charCount()  );

};

function remove_mouse_listener() {

Mouse.removeListener(listener);

}

listener.onMouseUp = function() {

_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.beginFill(0x00000  0,5);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.lineStyle(1,0xCCC  CCC);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.moveTo(startX,sta  rtY);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.lineTo(_xmouse,st  artY);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.lineTo(_xmouse,_y  mouse);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.lineTo(startX,_ym  ouse);
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.endFill();
_root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1._alpha = 90;
var my_snap:TextSnapshot;
var startCount:Number=0;
mc.onPress = findText1;
findText1();
	
	
};

	function findText1()
	{
	resetSelection();
	var totalLength:Number = my_snap.getCount();
	var theText:String = my_snap.getText(0, totalLength, false);
	
	//theText.split(",");
	trace("the theText is" + theText);
	}
	
	function resetSelection()
	{
	
	my_snap= _root.holder.contentMC.drawRect1.getTextSnapshot()  ;
	trace(my_snap);
	startCount=0;
	}

thanks in advance
