Dynamic Zooming

This is a freelance project that I took on for my friend Jewel as an extension of a previous project. It's designed to allow the user to see fine detail on an image in a small space. The utility will load in an image, auto create the thumbnail and allow the user to zoom in to get a much closer look at the detail on the image. Navigation can be done either with the thumbnail or with the image itself. The navigation can also be closed so it won't obscure the user's view. The application is also resizeable so that it can adapt to any space as needed.

This was my second project working with actionscript 3 and further confirmed how much I love the latest edition of this language. I was hoping to reuse some of the code from my previous project but found that much of it had been hardcoded for that specific image. So I rebuilt it from the ground up and am very happy with the results. This took about 20 hours to create.
