Your transformation code may be a little too funky :)
I (drastically) simplified your code and it works fine:
private function companyName():void {
var coName:TextField = new TextField();
with(coName){
x = 100;
y = 100;
autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
embedFonts = true;
defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat("Arial", 40, 0);
text = "Company Name";
filters = [new DropShadowFilter(10, 0, 0, 0.5, 10, 10)];
}
addChild(coName);
//transform
var degX:Number = 15;
var degY:Number = 15;
var m:Matrix = new Matrix();
m.b = Math.tan(degY*Math.PI/180);
m.c = Math.tan(degX*Math.PI/180);
coName.transform.matrix = m;
}
