I'm trying to create a zoom effect in Flash MX for an image gallery. Want I want to do is have a magifying glass effect that "magnifies" the image as the user passes the "lens" over the image.

Since all the pics are loaded dynamically, it needs to be scripted independently frm the images...any pointers? Not sure how to approach this.

pixelNymph,

Ok, i cannot give you a working example becasue whenever i have had to zoom in on images i have used seperate zoom in and out sections, but this is an example of a user controlled magnifying glass - that enlarges the images when the user puts the magnifying glass over them, the source is open:

Inside the pcitures mc, the images can be loaded in - i had a fiddle around with the Fla just now and it looks like it is do-able.

Should be just what you need.

Hope this helps.

Regards, snapple :)
