BTW, if all you're trying to do is make the Label fade correctly, you can just apply a filter on the label, which automatically caches it as a bitmap, and then the fade will work. You can even apply a filter that doesn't really do anything, like say a BlurFilter with blurX and blurY set to zero. You can apply a filter in either MXML or AS code.
