Zoom and drag help

Question

Hi everyone
I am making a page turning book much like this example
http://www.merc-clothing.com/newspaper.asp
Ok a lot like this example, the size of my double page spread
is
1095 by 777 and the top left position is X-550 Y-457
I have almost completed it but the one problem is when I zoom
in and drag the page around there is no script to tell it not to
let the page be dragged of the screen I hope this makes sense.
Also when you zoom back out the page doesn’t return to
the position it was before
would anyone know where and what to add to this script to
stop my mc being dragged so far the next set of page are revealed
underneath and so when you zoom back out it returns to its original
position
I am a complete idiot regarding actionscript so please be
gentle
Thanks for your time
this is the script im using now to zoom in and drag
zoom_drag_zoom(newsMC, 100);
function zoom_drag_zoom(myMC, myScale)
// 1st param = the MovieClip you want to allpy this
functionality to.
// 2nd param = the amount you want it scaled down by when
zoomed out
// if no amount is give it will default to 50%
// Deak's zoom, drag, zoom. 2006
// allows you to zoom in to an MC
// onPress, drag MC onMouseDown
// and zoom out onRelease
// sets the scale to 50% if no scale is given.
myScale = (!myScale) ? 50 : myScale ;
trace("myScale:"+myScale);
//var myMC:MovieClip = newsMC;
//initially reduce the size of the mc
myMC._xscale = myScale;
myMC._yscale = myScale;
// set variables to false
var zoomedIn:Boolean = false;
var dragging:Boolean = false;
// onPress is triggered as the mouse is clicked
myMC.onPress = function()
// checks to see if the MC is zoomed in (not zoomed).
if (!zoomedIn) {
// if the MC is not zoomed then increase scale to 100%
myMC._xscale = 200;
myMC._yscale = 200;
// set variable to true, to be used later
zoomedIn = true;
dragging = true;
// onMouseDown is also triggered as the mouse is clicked
// N.B. even if the onMouseDown appears after the onPress it
will be triggered first
myMC.onMouseDown = function()
// checks to see if the MC is zoomed in (is zoomed).
if (zoomedIn) {
// add a mouse listener
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
// Mouse listener is triggered when the mouse is down and
only if the MC has been zoomed in.
var mouseListener
bject = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function ()
// starts the drag of the MC
startDrag(myMC);
// set variable to true
dragging = true;
// the MC is now draggable so we can remove the lsitener.
Mouse.removeListener(mouseListener);
// onMouseUp is trigger when the mouse button is released,
this will always proceed an onRelease.
myMC.onMouseUp = function()
// This removes the listener and stops the drag, called here
so if you click the MC but do not move the mouse it will not
prevoke the startDrag
Mouse.removeListener(mouseListener);
myMC.stopDrag();
// onMouseUp is trigger when the mouse button is released
myMC.onRelease = function()
// condition: if MC is zoomed and you are NOT dragging the
MC
if ( (zoomedIn) && (!dragging) ) {
// reduce scale
myMC._xscale = myScale;
myMC._yscale = myScale;
// reset the variables
zoomedIn = false;
dragging = false;
// this is placed here at the end of the onRelease to set
the dragging variable to false.
// if this was placed in the onMouseUp then the MC would get
zoomed out as "dragging" would be false.
dragging = false;
stop();

I would really like to know this too.
If you look at the help file:

(I hope that's a functional URL) It says that the old drag-zoom thing should still work. But I still get the "scrub" style zooming. None of the pref settings seem to affect it. Help!
