I think this is what you're looking for
Magnifier
The Magnifier external object works with MacroMedia Director ( versions
3 and 4) and allows the user to drag a "magnifying glass" around the
stage. The magnifying glass displays a magnified image of the stage
below it. A floating magnifier may also be created, which may be moved
around the stage completely under the control of lingo commands. The
magnifier may be circular, square, or rectangular, it may have a
border, and the size and magnification are adjustable. The Magnifier
external object requires System 7.

Only way I can think of is to image everything to a bitmap or to the
stage. But that's probably a lot more involved than you want (as you
indicated maintaining interactivity - you have to approach the
"interactive" part entirely differently than you would when using
sprites and behaviors), especially if you're trying to retrofit a
solution. Of course, you could make all of your content in Flash, and
scale the Flash sprite, but I'm sure you've thought of that.
Maybe an LDM could work, but I've found LDMs to be less than perfect
in many cases.

This will only work for individual QuickTime, vector shape, or Flash
movie
sprites only.
It does not address the issue of scalling all the content on stage.
