how to create user-controlled zoom? 2

[flashaddict]

Hi all,
glad i joined in, some very helpful posts here!
I want to create a flash movie where the end-user actually has zoom control over an object (movieclip?) on the stage. Ideally, this will be a slider which enlarges the mc and shrinks it down, with maybe different sliders for corresponding objects. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? A downloadable sample swf would be perfect.
Thanks for your help!

Correction: it should be a sample .fla instead of swf .. my mistake! cheers

Thanks, Bill!
amazing stuff... i'll see if i can play around with the code. However, it would be nice if there's a way of zooming in smaller increments, pref. with a slider... also, one control (slider) does both zooms, in & out... any thoughts?
Cheers,

if you look at the button code

in_btn.onPress = function(){
zoomed +=10;
myPane.setContentScale(zoomed);
}

changing the value for zoomed will control the amount of zoom

easy to change so that this value is altered by a slider instead of on a button press.

let me know if you need more help

Hi Bill,
thanks for the help -- yes, if you could post the code for a slider that does the zooming, i'd be grateful! I'm on an upward learning curve at moment, trying to get my head around Actionscript... hopefully, i'll get there someday!

Made a zoom tool a while back, no use of any sliders needed just click. The amount of magnification is fixed in the as but can easily be converted into a variable for control by button or whatever.
