Hey all,  
I am building up a simple zoom in zoom out on an externally loaded picture.  
When I load the picture without applying any .\_xscale and .\_yscale to it, the resolution is fine but when I use the .\_xscale and .yscale to the movieclip it is in, it blurs the image.  
I don’t get it.  
I am posting bits of the code in case you are curious.  
Thanks for your help.

//gets the info for choosing the right pix  
mepixVar = new LoadVars();  
mepixVar.load(“indic.txt”);  
//loads  
mepixVar.onLoad = function() {  
z = mepixVar.pixRef;  
this.pathToPics = “”;  
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+z, \_root.photo.loader.recip);  
\_root.photo.loader.recip.\_quality = “BEST”;  
};  
//code for zoom in and out  
slider.onEnterFrame = function() {  
x = ((slider.cursor.\_x)-40)\*(0.66)+50;  
\_root.photo.\_xscale = x;  
\_root.photo.\_yscale = x;  
};  
stop();
