Is there a way around this when scaling up movieclips?

For example, if you wanted little boxes that got bigger so you could read them on rollover. If you use \_x\yscale or \_w\height the text sort of crawls larger, moving in large steps and it looks awful. The only way I can find around this is to use bitmap or vector text, which is not dynamic.
