@Ricardo, it uses one big picture and it scales it down so when you zoom with the magnifying glass you see the original size.

I want to know how many pictures this script uses. One or two? Because i want to use a Magnifying glass zoom without loosing quality in the picture.

You’ll have to comment out lines 21, 22, 23, 24 of the code on the zoom container. This code moves the zoom container according to the mouse.
Then you have to comment out the codes inside the functions onClipEvent(mouseDown) and onClipEvent(mouseUp).

Inside the onClipEvent(mouseDown) you’ll have to add the code that will enable dragging (startDrag) and inside onClipEvent(mouseUp) you’ll have disable dragging (stopDrag).

Finally you’ll have to add the onClipEvent(onEnterFrame) function inside the onClipEvent(mouseDown) and then inside the onClipEvent(mouseUp) you’ll have to delete the onEnterFrame.

Hi! Just bought this handy script. However, I’d like to be able to treat the magnified area as a dragbable entity, rather than just replacing my cursor with it. I’d like to be able to pick it up, drag it around and magnify the image as I drag it manually.

Any idea how this can happen?

Thank you!
