Author Textfield background turns opaque when scrolled

Hello,

I've created a symbol which contains a textfield, and loops round
changing the hscroll property everytime. This makes the text scroll
accross the screen, and in this respect it works very well.

The problem comes when I try and put other things in lower layers. As
soon as the text starts to scroll, everything below it is obscured -
it's as if I've set the .background property to true, but I haven't.
Just to be extra sure, I've set it to false in every frame. To make
sure the white background that appears is part of the text, I've tried
changing the backgroundColor property, and confirmed that it changes
too.

If I comment out the code which changes the hscroll property, there's
no problem - the text has no background, so it seems to be the act of
animating it which causes the problem.

Is this a shortcoming of Flash (I'm using the very latest version), or
is there something else I should be doing?

I'm getting really frustrated with this, so I'd really appreciate any
advice!

Thanks,

Hamish
