I have an odd problem in CS4/AS3 with one of my flash files where text is incorrectly rendered if the movieclip containing the text has a 3d matrix transform and quality is set to medium or low.

It is easy to reproduce:

1. new flash file (as3)
2. create a movieclip named TestSymbol
3. place a text in this movieclip and enable font embedding (required)
4. place this movieclip on scene1, name the instance Text
5. place this code in the first frame of scene 1:

stop();  
addEventListener( Event.ENTER\_FRAME, Rotor );  
function Rotor( e:Event ) { Text.rotationY += 1; }

1. run the movie and try changing the quality setting

Is this a known issue and if so, does anyone know of a workaround?
