the only way that i know how to zoom is by using the ‘\_xscale’ and ‘\_yscale’.
e.g.
\
\_root.someObject.\_xscale = 300
\
or something like that.
if anyone else knows a better way i would love to know as well

Yep. You can try that code on your object:
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._xscale+=5;
this._yscale+=5;
}
```
