Excuse my inadequate explanation. There's no thumbnail to be clicked on. The clickable area is some text that occupies a region on the left half of the screen that's about 350 pixels high by 250 wide. When the user clicks a word, the bitmap (a 1 pixel, 1 colored sprite/bitmap member to begin with) must zoom out from that word to it's ultimate full sized location. The bitmap is a background on which an instance of the word is displayed in a separate text member that sits on top of the fully zoomed background. The final location of the bitmap is always the same. So the locus of the zoom will vary depending on which word the user clicks. A word at the upper left may be 250 pixels away from a word at the lower right. Clicking on the former word might mean that the image zooms from its upper left corner. Clicking on the lower right means that the image zooms from a point about 175 pixels from the background's left border and 150 from the top.
Various things I've tried have succeeded in making it zoom from differing parts of the image, but I can't get it to start and finish how and where I want it to based on the clickLoc. I'd like to be able to do this with a Flash member using vector scaling Lingo because it would be faster and smoother on slower machines, but am having no success there at all other than to zoom it from a static point. I hope this helps make more clear what I'm trying to do. >It would help to know how you've set this up to begin with. I'm having a >hard time envisioning what you mean here.
