Hello!

I am using pixelfumes reflection but I am having an issue which I am hoping you can answer.

I have added text to my stage through a loop. There are 3 different words that are added to the stage. I put the text in a mc and then used the mc for the reflection. but for some reason the whole word does not reflect. Just the last 4 and 5 letters. All of the words are 6 and 7 letters long.

Heres my code:

```auto

public function placeletters():void {

for (var i:Number=0; i<numButtons; i++) {

     textfield = new TextField();
     textfield.text = textArray.shift();
     textfield.setTextFormat(textformat);
     textfield.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
     textfield.embedFonts = true;
     options = new MovieClip;
     options.addChild(textfield);
     options.x = 427;
     options.y = 200 + i * 400;

     addChild(options);

     optionsReflect = new Reflect({mc:realityOptions, alpha:30, ratio:100, distance:140, updateTime: 0, reflectionDropoff: .1});

}

if (options.length > 0) {
     placeLetters();
}
}

```

If you know what I am doing wrong and can help me I would greatly appreciate it!!! 🙂
