Howdy

I'm working on a flash application for viewing a map (related to a game) and in order to "zoom in" on the map, I'm basically stretching the yscale and xscale, but when I do this (as you can imagine), the place I'm viewing on the map changes completely. I figure there has to be a way to avoid this, but how is beyond me...

Any hints?

My code for zooming:

onClipEvent(load){
	lastCheck = 0;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	if(lastCheck != this.value){
		//Stretch the image to zoom it!
		_root.imageLoader._yscale = 100+this.value;
		_root.imageLoader._xscale = 100+this.value;
		lastCheck = this.value;
	}
}

This is actionscript 2.0.

I figure the x and y of the imageLoader need to be moved, but I don't know how to put it into a formula that'll keep it at its precise point.

You can see my current version in action here:

Hey, this may be useful to you. It makes things like zooming and scrolling with a "camera" much easier and simpler. Hope this helps
