Yes, of course!,
Create a simple FLA file for every test, and put in the first frame of
each one:
Main.init(this);
In the first test, a textfield is created that has some FX and it is
masked. Then, the mask size is changed.
BUG: The text doesn´t "unmask". If you remove the FX, the movie play as
expected.
The second test is a variation of the first, but instead of a mask, a
scrollRect is used. In this case, neither the text nor the scrollRect
changes.
The third test is the same as the second, but instead of a textfield, a
simple movieclip (with cacheAsBitmap) is used.

Can you share test case?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Alpha Masking Weirdness
Indeed, it´s a buggy flash player behavior.
When you mix TextFields with Masks and FX, all goes wrong. It has nothing
to do with MTASC.
I already reported that to MM (with very simple and small test cases)
Maybe in the next update? Or maybe we need to wait for the V9 player.

I've embedded the font, naturally. I'm getting extremely buggy

Sometimes the textfield will appear partially... only the right half of
the
textfield, but most of the time, not at all.
At one point, I found that removing the dropshadow filter from the
textfield, and then adding it back later programmatically helped the
problem. But, now that I've added the alpha mask, it doesn't behave
right,
and it's very slow.
The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with the
combination of movies compiled with MTASC versus the Flash IDE. The
shell
is all code, compiled in MTASC, and it loads in modules created in the
Flash
IDE.

Try embedding font for the textfield.
