Is it possible to zoom a picture over 100%?
Hi experts,
I decided to learn the Flex language, and even though I've done some Flash before, I feel completely lost right now!
I found an open source flipbook version of Flex (http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/components/flexbook/) and I'd like to customize it.
What I'm trying to do right now is pretty simple: I want to be able to zoom a page over 100% (up to 300% if possible) of it's size when the user click it.
To do this, I have use the FlexBook image browser example (found here http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/book/FullPage.html) but the zoom only streches the pictures to 100%. Also, unlike this example I'm gonna use image that are gonna fill the entire page.
I would really appreciate if someone could helpe me out or give me some hints on how to do this.
I post my code below, so feel free to let me know if you need more information.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day.
Frank

we use a Canvas called Canvas3D to place our book / pages into, then use a slider called sldZoom for the zoom level then use the following function in the code snippet to perform the zoom .
of course would be sexyier to use the mouse whell event, if you need the code to do this cleanly let me know and ill post the code through

canvas3D.scaleY = sldZoom.value;

Wow, this is really awesome Robinsonx6!
I'm taking a chance by asking this, but would there be a way to zoom on 1 specific page instead of the whole book?
Also, when you zoom larger than 100% of the page scale, it usually expand outside of the screen but no scrollbar appear. I guest I must use javascript to show them when I zoom?
Thanks so much for the help, I will definately have more questions about the flexbook so I'll let you know!
Thanks,
Frank

The scroll bars issue will sort itself out if you put the Canvas you created into a fixed Canvas on the page
its a bit like a desk containing a container which holds the book
the desk will show the scroll bars this is because you are zooming the book within the desk
zoom specific page this is another question to be postwede but yes its possible
