Hey does anybody out there know how you can convert the movie clip size to a percentage so that you can set limits for zooming and dragging? In other words, if I set an x and y limit for dragging then that changes when I zoom in, such that when the movie clip is at 100% I can drag to a certain spot but when I zoom in and then drag the x and y drag limit prevents one from seeing as much of the clip as you could at 100%. So it would be great to say something to the effect of “whatever zoom level one is at, you can only drag to 90% of the movie clip” so one can’t drag the movie clip outside of the set drag area.

Is that totally confusing?

Any help would be appreciated!
