[Laszlo-dev] adding printing to LZX -- need help

[Oliver Steele]

If it's a scope problem, _root.print might fix it.

This could also be a problem if 'print' is an opcode, not a function 
call.  (The Flash compiler knows about some magic opcodes such as 
'trace' and 'fscommand', and the LZX compiler has to be told about each 
one, and only uses them in core runtime code in the LFC.)  I don't 
think it's an opcode, though.
