I have a bunch of dynamic TextFields on the stage and when a user clicks on one, the movie “zooms in” on it. Here is some sample code showing how the TextFields are setup:

```auto

tf.wordWrap = true;
tf.multiline = true;
tf.embedFonts = true;
tf.alwaysShowSelection = true;
tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
tf.cacheAsBitmap = true;

```

During the scaling, which performs the zooming, the text in the TextFields is extremely jumpy and the breaks are not the same. I have to leave antiAliasType set to ADVANCED because it was the only solution I could find to another bug. I’ve read about a similar problem being fixed by changing the antialiasing to “Anti Alias for Animation” in the ide, but these TextFields are created dynamically with Actionscript, so I can’t really try that.

Any thoughts?
