Hi all

I have a map. i want to add a zoom in/out and feature to it , i am able to zoom in and out .

I am having problem in paning the map. Instance name for the MC is map.

Here is the function that i m using for zooming the map  
function zoom(amount) {  
xoffset = startWidth\*(map.\_x-startx)/(100/amount_map.\_width);  
yoffset = startHeight_(map.\_y-starty)/(100/amount\*map.\_height);  
map.\_xscale = map.\_xscale+amount;  
map.\_yscale = map.\_yscale+amount;  
map.\_x = map.\_x+xoffset;  
map.\_y = map.\_y+yoffset;  
y\_coord = map.\_y;  
x\_coord = map.\_x;  
scale = int(map.\_xscale)+"% view";  
if (map.\_xscale\<=50) {  
map.\_xscale = 50;  
map.\_yscale = 50;  
scale = int(map.\_xscale)+"% view";  
}  
// end if  
}

Thanks
