AS3 rotation issue/bug need help.

Question

Ok I have been converting a AS2  flash based sight to AS3. With the project I have to make new  transitions for the pages. The client wants these transitions to be in  3d, which ive worked with before and have had no problems. However for  the last few hours ive had this killer issue that wont go away.
When using  rotationZ or rotationX on any element the rotation value is not based on  360 degrease but instead based on a random number. For example I can  rotate a box on the stage by 0.03 and it will be ~rotated 180 degrease,  but if I do the same rotation on another box on the stage it will go to  ~40 degrease.
Im  clueless to why this is happing and if I try to duplicate the error in  another file it wont happen. So... anyone able to give me a heads up at  what may be causing this?
For those asking how im rotating it.
box.rotationY  = 45;
box2.rotationY = 90;

Ok... heres the min code for the error to happen my side.
If you need an XML you can make your own to test this using the fallowing structer or just use this.
---------------------------- XML Bellow ------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xml>
    <page>
        <name value="Home"/>
        <background value=""/>
        <content type="text">Hello this is random text? what the hell? what the duce?</content>
        <x value="400"/>
        <y value="20"/>
        <content type="image">url to the image file</content>
        <x value="400"/>
        <y value="20"/>
    </page>
</xml>
