Ok heres the deal, I’m in the process of making complicated multiplayer games and i want to make a ‘zoom in-scroller’ feature (simply to give the illusion of a bigger world where i can put more stuff in it). What I need is the equivilent of launching your .swf, right clicking on the stage, and “zoom in” (but obviously in actionscript code).
I’ve been searching online for the solution and all i can find is a bunch of noobs describing how to zoom in on a movieclip, but they arent really zooming at all, they’re just blowing up and shrinking the individual movieclips.
The biggest problem with this of course is when i add objects to the stage, thier (x, y) spawn dosent scale with the stage.scaleX, so the placement spirals the game out of control.
Anyways, my stage is a 1200x by 600y dimension; the stage has player movieclip (var player1) with assosiated move functions (W A S D controls). I need a zoomed in interface centered on the moving player (lets just say a 600x by 300y box). And finally this zoom-in should not affect anything going on in the original 1200x600 stage, such as spawn locations, collision detections and so on. Thanks.
