I really like the style of the map on “The Ban Mapping Project”.  
[http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/index.html](http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/index.html)  
[http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/base.swf](http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/base.swf)  
I like the way that when you click on something, regardless of the coordinates that you are currently at, it re-focuses on the new coordinates, whether it has to zoom in, or just slide. I REALLY need to learn how to reproduce that effect, just that effect… for a project that I need to do. Does anybody have any idea of where I can find tutorials that explain similar effects? Or… Could anybody explain that effect himself/herself?

My deepest gratitude,

Nathalia

pretty neat scripting, i hope you get an answer soon, 'cause i’d like to know too!

i guess it’s along the lines of a tween in map size (just one tween for the zoom effect) and then an \_x and \_y mouse thing for each point (moves the tweened big map to preset position).

big load of help that is, but someone here can figure this out easy (i feel like i am looking through a window at flash experts inside)
