Some of the ‘choiceText’ textfields bounce around in place. Why?

```auto

ansBacking.buttonMode = true;
   ansBacking.label = xmlFile.questions.question[questIndex].answers.answer*.content;
   ansBacking.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleChoice);
   emptyContainer.addChild(ansBacking);
   emptyContainer.setChildIndex(ansBacking,0);
 
   if(xmlFile.questions.question[questIndex].answers.answer*.@correct == true)
   {
    correctAns = xmlFile.questions.question[questIndex].answers.answer*.content;
   }
 
   var choiceText:TextField = new TextField();
   choiceText.defaultTextFormat=formatWhite;
   choiceText.multiline=true;
   choiceText.selectable=false;
   choiceText.mouseEnabled = false;
   choiceText.wordWrap=true;
   choiceText.border=false;
   choiceText.width=330;
   choiceText.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
   choiceText.text = xmlFile.questions.question[questIndex].answers.answer*.content;
   //choiceText.y = ansBacking.y + (30 * (26/choiceText.height));
   //choiceText.x = ansBacking.x + (ansBacking.width/2) - (choiceText.text.length * 3.3);
   choiceText.x = ansBacking.x + 13;
   choiceText.y = ansBacking.y + 9.2;
   emptyContainer.addChild(choiceText);

```
