does anyone know of a way to have a text box expand to fit it’s contents?

the reason I ask is that I want to use a scollbar with blur and ease, to scroll a mc containing some buttons etc., and a dynamic .txt fed, css styled text-box (with an embedded font)… what a mouth full.

the text in the box will be constantly growing, it’s a last-date-first news area for a band…
