Claudio's scroller w/dynamic text - make it stop easing!

Why is it that things go wrong only when you have a deadline and are starting to panic? :red:

I am using claudio’s infamous scroller but I am loading text dynamically. This seemed to work a few days ago but I changed the dimensions of the box and the mask and I don’t know, maybe those dimensions were hard coded somewhere in the AS, I can’t figure it out, but now as soon as the file is loaded it starts easing up! And if you click on one of the buttons, or the slider bar, then it stops easing and jumps to the “top” but it isn’t really the top (cuts off a couple of lines of text). What the heck is going on here? I’ve attached a sample fla if anyone cares to have a looksee.

Thanks for any help you can give!
