Hi prob covered before but cant seem to find anything, want to zoom /x and y my large movie clip. Cracked the movement and scale but cant work out the easiest way to work out the xy and y values to zoom to the correct place.

Is there an easy way I am unaware of, I tried increasing the size of my mc and moving to where i want and then noting the x and y values but it seems to be having none of it :S

Any ideas welcome… maybe I am approaching it all wrong’  
/?
