pushing things to 10ms seemed to work best. I will try experiment with BitmapData. I hope that will do the trick.

I think the bottleneck is mostly due to the heavy font vectors. If your font movieclip was hidden and/or moved off-stage, you could probably get away with a single BitmapData object set to the size of the screen, redrawing each time the text changes. -Danro On Sep 3, 2006, at 1:19 PM, Marc Hoffman wrote: > I'm seeing a window full of text (Firefox, Win XP Pro) -- is this what > you intended?
