Has anyone experienced poor Flash performance when using SELECTABLE text fields containing several paragraphs of text? I am rotating a dynamic text field w/ selectable text enabled. The tween lagged fairly bad. I disabled seletectable text and it SEEMS to tween more fluidly.

Any experience with this? Any tips? Should I NOT make text fields that contain a lot of text unselectable? Your help is much appreciated.
