Cleaning out some of my flash video player junk and ran across a basic zoom in/out function for progressive download players. Assuming your video object is the child of a sprite (videoSprite):


public function zoomincontroller(pEvent:MouseEvent):void {
//move and scale sprite
videoSprite.x -= ;
videoSprite.y -= ;
videoSprite.width += (*2);
videoSprite.height += (*2);
}
public function zoomoutcontroller(pEvent:MouseEvent):void {
//reset sprite
videoSprite.x = 0;
videoSprite.y = 0;
videoSprite.width = stage.stageWidth;
videoSprite.height = stage.stageHeight;
}


….never really got around to retooling it. The basic concept is that you scale and reposition the Sprite the video is in. Obviously you will need a high-res video for this to look like anything…

Enjoy!
