Does anyone know how to prevent the text seizures in the tweens in this Flash thingy?

Click on any of the squares to watch the text writhe in spasmic dorkery. This happened to me once before and I remember using cacheAsBitmap to fix it. but it didn't work when I tried it on the text or the clips that contain them.

Its because you have it as an antialiase setting other than 'antialiase for animation' and Flash is snapping the characters to the nearest whole pixels so keep the text clear. Your scaling the text up, so that'll happen with certain fonts.
There's a workaround that I use but it uses timeline animation. I basically switch between a custom antialiase (or antialiase for readability) and antialiase for animation, a frame before or after the text comes to a stop or starts animating. You might be able to recreate that effect using code too.

antialias "for readability" causes this
switch to "animation"

will be much smoother with text broken apart into vector shapes. Of course that won't work for dynamic text, and it will add file size.
