Zooming to certain map locations

Question

Can someone give me some pointers as far as how to zoom into(hence zooming the map outward) set locations on a map, yet only those locations. I have a script which will zoom to your mouse location and also if I set the specific x and y, but still zooms when clicking on any other spot.
Long story short how do I zoom to only a set location and nothing else within a map/image.
thanks for any help provided as Im really stuck here.

Answer 1

could you give me an example as to how to check currently Im using this script(which isn't mine) which zooms based on the mouse location, it works great, but Im trying to get it to zoom only to set points: I may have to bag this script all together....
thanks for any help
onClipEvent(load)
    var i = 0; 
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
    if (i>0) {
        return;
    zoom = true;
    dir == 1 ? (dir=-1) : (dir=1);
    if (dir == 1) {
        pt = {x:_root._xmouse, y:_root._ymouse};
  //pt = {x:142, y:182}; //I tried to set this based on the x and y of one of the locations but since the map is looking at the root it doesn't work this way
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    if (!zoom) {
        return;
    _root._xscale += dir*i*30/20;
//map._xscale += dir*i*30/20;//x of movie clip, tried to set the scale to the mc but didn't work
    _root._yscale += dir*i*25/20;
//map._yscale += dir*i*25/20;//y of movie clip
    var pt2 = {x:pt.x, y:pt.y};
//var pt2 = {x:141.9, y:177};
    _root.localToGlobal(pt2);
//map.localToGlobal(pt2);
    _root._x -= (pt2.x-pt.x);
//map._x -= (pt2.x-pt.x);
    _root._y -= (pt2.y-pt.y);
//map._y -= (pt2.y-pt.y);
    i++;
    if (i == 12) {
        zoom = false;
        i = 0;
