Help with a scripting issue

[bikinigames]

Alright so there's a sort of a "zoom" feature in my game that is controlled by manipulating _root._xscale and _root._yscale and works great. My problem is that I want my menus and other elements to remain 100% scaled even when _root._xscale and _root._yscale isn't 100%.

For example when _root._xscale = 50, I want menu._xscale = 200, etc.

Hope someone here can help!

Put all your game elements in one movieclip and your UI in another and then just scale the movieclip with the game elements in.

Thank you for the response but that would all be incredibly impractical at this stage of the game. I believe the code should be super simple and would completely remedy the situation, I just can't wrap my brain around the logic. :/

Plan ahead next time.

I appreciate your suggestions but I'm looking for one more suitable to my current situation. I suggested the logic that I believe would be most effective in my first post.

It is much easier put every movie clip you would like to zoom into an array and iterate the scale, like this:

var things:Array=[mc1,mc2,mc3,mc4,mc5];

function onEnterFrame():Void
{
      for(var i:Number=0;i<things.length;i++)
      {
              things[i]._xscale=things[i]._yscale=50;
      }
}

There is no tomorrow, just find the fix you need right now and if you ever find the urge to take a crap: do it in your pants because going to the toilet is working on tomorrow.

That won't keep the movie clips in the same apparent position relative to each other.
To the OP, you really should have planned ahead.
