hello everyone,

Problem: the text inside my movieclip gets distorted when the movie clip is scaled.  
Code:

```auto

import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

//variables for justMePage
import flash.events.Event;

var justMeX = justMe.x;
var justMeY = justMe.y;
var justMeScaleX = justMe.scaleX;
var justMeScaleY = justMe.scaleY;
var justMeRotation = justMe.rotation;

//activate button mode for justMe
justMe.buttonMode = true;

//listen to the events
justMe.justMeImage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, justMeOn);
function justMeOn(e:Event):void
{
    addChild(justMe);
    //scale up
    Tweener.addTween(justMe, 
        { time:2, scaleX:3, scaleY:3,
            rotation:180, rotationY:180, rotationX:180, 
            x:stage.stageWidth/2, y:stage.stageHeight/2,
            transition:"easeIn"
        });
    Tweener.addTween(justMe.justMeImage, {alpha:0, time:1, transition:"easeIn"});
}
//when the justMe.justMeImage is invisible the justMe.justMeInfo is visible
//the problem is that the text in justMe.justMeInfo is pixelated.

```

how do i make the text still look good even if the movie clip that it belongs to is scaled?
