Xml load image zoom

1

Hi,

I have been trying to set the loaded image x and y to -180 in order to centre xml loaded images(they’re 360 x 360). The reason for this is to add a zoom effect but i can’t seem to apply this zoom effect to the centre of the loaded image(s). It scales to 0,0. I need to either set 0,0 to be the centre of the image or scale to 180,180. I’m currently testing this on 1 of 16 images. Hope this makes sense.

Pulling my hair out and desperate for help.

var thumbsXML:XML = new XML();
thumbsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
thumbsXML.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
 if (!success) {
  trace("XML Data not Found or Error on Loading");
 } else {
 
  rootNode = thumbsXML.firstChild;
  thumbsNode = rootNode.firstChild.childNodes;
  totalThumbs = thumbsNode.length;
  trace("XML DATA: " + rootNode);
  trace(newline);
  for (i = 0; i < totalThumbs; i++) {
   //attachClips and populate/tag with data
   var thumbClip = visHold.attachMovie("thumbContainer_mc", "visual" + visHold.getNextHighestDepth(), visHold.getNextHighestDepth());
   //dynamically place clips on stage
   thumbClip._x = (visHold._width/2) - (thumbClip._width/2);
   thumbClip._y = (visHold._height/2) - (thumbClip._height/2);
 
 
 
   //declare onPress action for thumbClip
   //populate loadQueue array
   thumbsLoad.addToQueue(visPath+"/" + thumbsNode*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue, thumbClip);
   //trace("Image added to queue: "+thumbsNode*.firstChild.childNodes[0]);
 
  }
 
  //load all images in loadQueue
  thumbsLoad.loadAll();
 
 }
 
 //set the starting value for 2 variables
 targXscale = 80;
 targYscale = 80;
 targetAlpha = 0;
 visHold.visual15._alpha=0;
 visHold.onEnterFrame = function() {
 //smooth scaling code
 visHold.visual15._xscale-=(visHold.visual15._xscale-targXscale)/5;
 visHold.visual15._yscale-=(visHold.visual15._yscale-targYscale)/5;
 visHold.visual15._alpha-=(visHold.visual15._alpha-targetAlpha)/5;
 
 if(visHold.visual15._xscale>=99.9){
  visHold.visual15._alpha-=34;
 }
}
button1.onRelease = function() {
 visHold.visual15._xscale=80;
 visHold.visual15._yscale=80;
 visHold.visual15._alpha=0;
 visHold.visual15._alpha-=(_root.visHold.visual15._alpha-targetAlpha)/5;
 _root.targXscale = 100;
 _root.targYscale = 100;
 _root.targetAlpha = 100;
}
 
};
thumbsXML.load("data.xml");

thanks
