Tricky situation. It may not be of use to you now, but in the future you might consider having any text that
might need changing in an external text file. The .swf can load the external text as a variable into a text
field. That way anyone (you, client or other team member) can  change text whenever needed without having to
modify the existing Flash movie. The "maxscroll" feature is handy in this situation as well as it can be used
to allow scrolling text so the layout is consistent. www.flashkit.com has some good tutorials regarding this.
