I am using Flash CS3 to build a website that uses Flash video.

When I have Textfields over the video, they display fine when played "normally" in the browser window. However, when I put the video in fullscreen play, the Textfields either vanish completely or get highly distorted (they get very skinny and tall). Worse, when I hit escape and exit full screen mode, they are often permanently distorted (it takes a reload to fix them).

This happens on both Safari and Firefox (in OSX 10.4.11). It happens whether the Textfields are dynamic or static. I am using the latest Flash Player (FP10). This happens whether they have the "Autosize" property turned on or off.

Is there any solution or is this just a bug? I imagine this is caused by the Flash Player getting confused about resizing things (and maybe the aspect ration is caused by the fact that my laptop has a widescreen monitor), but I don't know. Any suggestions?
