Can anyone help me make my dynamic text box scroll smoother? My Flash document is set at 30fps and I use the ‘onEnterFrame’ method so surely the text should scroll smoothly?!

My movie is at [http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.html and the source is at [url=“http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.fla”]http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.fla](http://www.joesmalley.com/news/news.html)

Or is it because of the text length that’s jerking the scrolling?
