I have an issue where I have a masked movie clip containing a large static text box. The movie clip containing the text box moves up and down to simulate scrolling behind the mask.
The thing works great for the top half of the scrollbar, but when it hits the bottom half, the framerate starts to lag. I’m not sure why. It is a large sized movieclip that is being moved around, but I would think if that was a problem, it wouldn’t work at all, not just one half. What do you guys think? Is it just because the numbers that calculate its position are getting bigger, making the math more complicated? Anyone know of a better way to do this? Something more efficient?
The .fla is attached, but the lagging is not as noticeable in the flash player. It’s more notieceable when the page is opened in its parent file. This can be seen at

Thanks in advance for any help!
