Create Zoom Tool For User?
Is there a way to create a zoom tool for a user to grab (say a magnifying glass icon) that they can then use to move over an area of a graphic and have that area zoom in?

Not sure if I explained it well but basicaly I have a photo of something but it is too small to see details on when I size it to fit the project so I was thinking that maybe there is some way to create a zoom tool so the user can zoom in on areas of the picture to be able to see the details.

Thanks for the help

How To Create User-controlled Zoom?
Hi all,
glad i joined in, some very helpful posts here!:)
I want to create a flash movie where the end-user actually has zoom control over an object (movieclip?) on the stage. Ideally, this will be a slider which enlarges the mc and shrinks it down, with maybe different sliders for corresponding objects. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? A downloadable sample swf would be perfect.
Thanks for your help!

Zoom Tool
Im working on a flash map of a small town and I would like to add a zoom tool so the user can read the tiny characters that make the streets name.

Do anyone know a good script that would allow me to zoom in and out in a user-friendly manner?

Zoom Tool
Has anyuone out there created their own zoom tool? I wasnt to build a SWF that allows the user to control the % they view the movie at. This could happen in a couple of ways - it could be set up as a clickable button on a toolbar, such as the Magnifying Glass seen in software like Flash, Photoshop etc. Or it could be like a Mapquest map, with a column of points, the user chooses one of them to zoom in or out.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Map Zoom Tool
Hi!

im trying to make a map zoom tool How can do so that when i click on a part of the map it will zoom in(scale up) and the map(mc) will center where i clicked?

Code:
_root.mc_world.onPress = function(){

zommer();
globeW = mc_world.width;
globeH = mc_world.height;

mc_world._x = _xmouse - (globeW / 2) ;
mc_world._y = _ymouse - (globeH / 2) ;

}
The zommer function increases the width and height to make it zoom.
I have this code, i know it s all wrong, but just to show you how i m thinking.

Help With A User Highlighting Tool
Hi,

I've looked around for this and have found some simple solutions but none quite right.

I have a number square (1-100) and I want the teacher to be able to highlight any number or row of numbers in 3 different colours.

The closest I've got is by creating an empty clip and changing the alpha to 25%.

THe problem is there are other tools on the page so I need the user to be able to stop highlighting quickly and clear highlighting when desired.

Any help would be gretly appreciated!

User-friendly Tool To Edit XML ?

I don't want to write a VB program especially for that!!

Tool Which Allows User To Click To Add Textfield / Text On Page?
I would like to have a very minimal toolbar for a flash movie - with just 2 tools. One of these would be for the user to click anywhere on the screen to create a text field and then to be able to add text to this, in a position on the screen that they clicked on. It would behave like the text tool in flash. Can anyone point me in the right direction to do this? Is there a tutorial out there or some code you can suggest I use?

The second tool is a simple pen/pencil drawing tool, for which I am going to use the kirupa tutorial which is nice and simple, and works very well!

Thanks.

Controlling The User's Zoom
Is there a way to make it so that when the user views my movie, he sees it at like 200%? Let me give some details. I'm making a racing game, and the view is from above. The car stays in the same place on the stage, but the road is a movie clip that moves depending on which way the car is facing. The road is really twisty and turny. I want to make the road cover a large area, but I won't be able to fit it all in the space that Flash gives you. If I could make the user view it at 200%, than I could make the road a lot smaller and they would still be able to see everything at the size I want. Anybody got any suggestions?

Create A Pen Tool That Draws
Hello,
I would like my flash movie to have the ability for the viewer to draw on it. I think what I'd like is a movie clip that when selected would drag and while it is dragging it would leave a line trail where it has been moved. When the mc is dropped it would stop drawing. I have other drag and drop items on the page that I don't want a line trail following their movements. I've tried api drawing but I ended up with lines behind all my drag and drop items.

Thank you,
Nancy

Looking To Create Dynamic Zoom Map
I'm trying to create a map that has locations on it, when the mouse is close to one of those locations, the map re-centers and the closer you get to the location the more zoomed in the map goes.

I found a similar map here

I'm not sure where to start building something like this. I know how to create the motion and zoom, but the part where I'm fuzzy is the interaction with the mouse position. Any help?

Create Interactive Zoom And Pan (in Out, Left, Right)
Hello Flash Forum,
I have been checking the forum for ideas and suggestions on how to implement an interactive zoom and pan on an image. I would like the user to be able to drag a "magnifing glass" over an image, and then zoom in (or out) on the area in the magnifing glass, using the mouse wheel. How might I go about creating this effect? Or, the easier way, steal someone's code who has implemented this kind of functionality.

Thanks

Wanting To Create A Button Controlled Map With Zoom
Flash newbie here (bet you've heard that before!) and all I am looking to do is create a simple map (IE just a background image...no interaction at this point) that you can move around via directional arrows. The map will be bigger than the Flash movie area and I'd also like to be able to zoom. There was a tutorial on this site that I was following that seemed to be more or less what I wanted but when I finished, it didn't work and for the life of me no matter how many times I went through those steps, I couldn't get it to work. It looked pretty! But it didn't work hehe.

If anyone has any tips or links to tutorials that would be great. My own attempts at searching are mostly fruitless probably due to my lack of Flash vernacular (for example, when I try looking up "map" I get LOADS of "bitmap" search returns hehe).

Any help would be awesome...I am learning and many tutorials assume I know a certain amount (which I do...but only to a certain point LOL).

Create A Timeline For The User
Hello boys and girls,
new to the flashkit community.
Anyway, I'm trying to build a timeline, a scrollbar where the user can drag the (movie clip with a button embeded) so they can watch the previous part of the timeline (or the timeline inside a movieclip)and then controll it.
I saw scroll buttons but I haven't read anything like this on the board (I spent a good 45 min reading posts) I would appreaciate any help!
I'm building a tutorial on " how to " do a few things and I though I would be great for the user if they can go back and re run the sequence just dragging the arrow on top of the time line.

thank you

>> How To Create An User Account With Login Etc.
Now I want to create an login kind of section on the corner of my website where people will type in there user name and password and then it comes up saying that they are logged in and there name stays at the top all at all times whilst surfing the website untill obvisouly they log out.

No I know that you need some sort of a database whcih holds all the user names and passwords (accouts) I hold all this information a php forum. So in therory i need flash to collect that database and find the user names and password so when someone types in i.e. USER NAME: freddy PASSWORD: bloggy | flash will find that account of the php forum board and then hopefully log in saying on the flash movie that they have just loged in etc.

If this is easier to do in a HTML based website (like dreamweaver) then please say so, but you can explain how to do it or direct me to a clear tutorial whcih shows me how.

Please also state if the above can be done?

Thanks
