OK, so i dont know much about Action Scripting but what I’m trying to do is get a Magnifying mask effect to take up the whole screen and be able to animate the object under it. I dont want it to be interactive, I just want to keep the magnifying mask stationary.
I found this script online. but i dont know how to manipulate it to do what i want. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you -Tim
onClipEvent (load) {
Mouse.hide()
mag = 200; // the default magnification (100 = 1x)
total = 25; // how many masks should be used to make this effect
final = 40; // the diameter of the final mask should be this percentage of the full size
glare.swapDepths(total+1)
// this loop creates the masks that make up the effect
for (var i = 1; i<=total; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip (g0, “g”+i, i);
// this variable represents the increment by which each mask needs to be resized
scale = (100-final)/total;
with (eval(“g”+i)) {
_yscale = 100-(scale*i);
_xscale = _yscale
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// you can either use these two lines or startDrag(),
// but this way won’t interefere with other drag operations
_x = _root._xmouse
_y = _root._ymouse
// these are the controls for the magnification.
// I put them here instead of in a button to keep things together,
// as well as bypassing some of the unfortunate problem with keys as button triggers
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && mag<500) {
Mag += 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && mag>110) {
Mag -= 10;
}
// this loop goes through each of the mask movies and does the following:
// * adjusts the scale of the picture based on Mag
// * adjusts the position of the oicture based on the mouse position
for (var i = 0; i<=total; i++) {
with (eval(“g”+i+".p")) {
offset = (mag-100)/(total+1);
_yscale = (((offseti)+100)/_parent._yscale)100;
_xscale = _yscale;
_x = -_root.original._xmouse(_xscale/100);
_y = -_root.original._ymouse(_yscale/100);
}
}
}
