Can anyone help with my problemo…?

I’ve got a scrolling image gallery which I have a zoom button that lets the user zoom in on the images… If they click on the stage, the scrolling stops. Now, if they try to zoom in, the image scales from the left side, since the images registration points are on the left side of the movie clip they’re loaded into. This causes the images to shift right, but I want it to appear as if its a straight on zoom… I hope this makes sense, any comments are appreciated!

Thanks in advance
