not have to worry about the button.

> Parameters
> 
> print In normal mode in the Actions panel, choose As vectors to print frames

> printAsBitmapNum. By default, all of the frames in the level print. If you

> 
> bmax Designates a composite of all of the bounding boxes of all the printable

> 
> bframe Designates that the bounding box of each printable frame be used as the

> different sizes in each frame and want each object to fill the printed page.
