Hello,
I am new to ActionScript 3 - I'm trying to find a way to allow the user to zoom in and out of a movieclip, preferably using the slider component, with ActionScript 3. I've found some solutions using AS2 but since I'm new to this coding I don't know how to make this work in AS3.
Thanks

Thank you for this, it's almost what I'm looking for.
How would I keep the movieclip in the same position on the stage (at the moment it is moving across the stage as it gets bigger.
When clicking on the slider it reduces the movieclip to 0% and then scales it up, I'd like to maintain it's original size and then scale up and then down as the slider is moved.
Many thanks
Of course. I was primarily showing you a proof of concept for the slider control. You will always have to make changes to the actual scaling code depending on the actual movieclip and the desired effect. I will update the file and repost with more robust scaling code. You will still need to edit it to fit your individual situation. Hopefully sometime today.
Until then.

Zooming is still achieved using the scale properties of a movieclip. Each slider will broadcast a 'change' event. You subscibe to the change event and change the scale of the movieclip in response to changes in the slider.
Check the attached file:
note you have to change the file extension to just .fla due to upload constraints.
this is a working example
