zooming error

[ticke]

I am trying to figure out something but I have had much luck.. Can I get someone to look at the code and try to set a limit on this thing?

It's a basic zoom whereas it takes a movie clip and zoom it in and out. The zoom out seems fine but the zooming in has an error. If you zoom in too much it will literally take the movie clip and turn it upside down.

the link is at

where you can even look at the .fla (test.fla)


Please help!!!

Thanks

are you sure your having the problem with zooming in? It seemed to work fine for me, I zoomed in until it was a big s curve and came to a crawl.

it will flip upside down if you zoom out too much though. What happens is your x and yscale goes below 0, which then keeps going into negative values, which shows a clip as inverted and starts growing as the negative value gets lower

Sorry, i have that backward. It's the zooming out that I am trying to figure out. how would you set it so that the movie clip stop zooming out when that variable reach 0?

Sorry about the confusion

i guess you're doing some enter frame action so
a simple if-statement should do it:

if (mymovieclip._xscale<0){
    mymovieclip._xscale=0;
    mymovieclip._yscale=0;
}else {
    mymovieclip._xscale-=1;
    mymovieclip._yscale-=1;
}

so the condition asks for the xscale-value, sets it to zero when it becomes less than zero and otherwise substracts the value you use (in my case it's 1).
would work for other methods as well, like _width, _height, _y, _rotation,.....
