Zoom Effect

[kouen_kage]

Hi my name is James,

im working on an interctive map and my map is to large for the screen so i was wondering if i have to get a smaller image and then have a zoom in effect  and when the cursor goes over it it zooms in to a more detailed image or is there a command that does that and im over complicating it.

To zoom something you change its scale (_xscale and _yscale).

now will that code go in for the frame or for the map image? and will it zoom in for where the cursor

is or just zoom it in altogether?

And Ned you really have been so helpful im trying to learn as i go but most of the stuff online are tutorials for something i already know or for moderate to expert users and i am certanly not either of them, thank you so much for your kindness and patience.

I'm not sure what you mean regarding the choice between frame or map image.  If you want to scale the map, then it is best done in the timeline that holds the map, not inside the map.  Zooming the map is relative to the registration mark of the map and has no relationship to the cursor position.
