Rather than do it on an interval, which is probably processing way too often,
why not fire it on an onChange? maybe use the callLater to wait till the frame
after the change so that the text is guaranteed to already be drawn. CallLater
works like this:
public function myFunct():void{
callLater(
function():void{
//stuff to do one frame later
}
)
}
It's a great tool
