hey all,

ok imagen I have a movieclip (space\_mc) w1000Xh1000 px ok!?

inside the space\_mc I have 2 movieclips:

- vlak1\_mc (w100xh100px, \_x:100,\_y:100);
- vlak2\_mc (w100xh100px, \_x:400,\_y:400);  
ok!?

now i put the space\_mc on the stage and scale it to 20%  
the stage (document properties) are w800xh600

Now i want that the USER clicks on vlak1,2\_mc and the space\_mc scales to 100% But the clicked vlak(1,2)\_mc must have the exact coordinates as in the space\_mc?

so if clicked on the vlak1\_mc!

the space\_mc zooms in to 100% and the \_x,\_y of the vlak1\_mc are x100,y100 on the stage(800x600)?

ok this sounds a little blury but if you know what i want please help me…

Cheers,

M
