Im makin a flash movie and I want it to slotly zoom in and then stop at this one point in the movie, and the only way i can to do this is to just enlarge all the objects. Ive looked at the other posts in this forum on that but they are all on buttons or really complex stuff. I just want a simple slow zoom in and then stop. How do i do this?

Put everything inside a container clip and then increase the scale of that clip (???)

exactly what pom said, increase the width and height onEnterFrame (which means every frame):

```php

onEnterFrame = function() {
speed = 10;//how fast in pixels it zooms
theClipName._width += speed;
theClipName._height += speed;
```

What i dont follow? I hace all my stuff in a whole bunch of layers so do i have to select all the layers and make them a clip? Or is there a way i can just zoom in the whole thing? Im reallly new to flash so any help is appreciated.

most of the people here are programmers so they are going to give you actionscript solutions…if you want you can pick an end zoom keyframe, then make sure you select everything and hit “Q” to get your transform tool, then hold shift and pull on a corner and it will scale everything in ratio. then select your frames, and make a motion tween…thats the not actionscript way to do it.

Troll,

That’s why it’s always a good idea to create everything inside a clip, and use the timeline of that clip. If you do that, you can resize the whole animation by simply resizing the clip, and not each clip one by one.
