I created a simple draw pad and the canvas that one draws upon is an MC called "BoardMask" with an instance of Canvas Mask MC that comprises the background in which one sees their drawing. I'm wondering if it would be possible to only print what was created on the canvas and not print the whold swf?
 
i find the best way to print is to have a separate movie clip well off stage and just duplicate printable items in that clip. so just have 2 copies of canvas and make it so whatever is done to one is done to both.

all you have to do then is target and print this clip. also allows for customisation meaning you can add a company name and logo on the print job without anything showing on screen. makes a more professional job.
