Hi,

Unfortunatly with flash, your stuck with moving things around a fixed camera position. I hope in future versions there is a camera object that can be manipulated, but for now, there are only workarounds. Here is a nice tutorial for creating a simulated camera object, but like most zooming, it requires scaling the target to the camera and not the camera to the target but it still achieves a nice effect...

Only because they explain it better than I can. I have a working demo if you would like but it doesn't explain the process. I guess I could send it to him in a PM.
