Yes, large numbers of #text members will tend to do that. Try moving all your #text members into an external cast file; that helps things load somewhat faster. > What is wrong? Why text does things like that? #text members are actually displaying text, RTF and HTML simultaneously, and are antialiasing to boot. They do an astonishing amount of work. If it's possible to do so consider using #field members, or external text files (perhaps RTF files?) which you import dynamically using FileIO when the user wants to turn a "page". That way you only need one #text member.
