Zooming issue

Hi everyone,

This is what I want to achieve. When I press the button, the window will zoom out until it reaches either the layout's width or height, making sure it shows only the objects in the game. But I am not sure how to determine or ensure that the zoom does not go over the height or width that exposes the outside of the layout.

If you open the above capx, you will understand what I mean. When I click the button, it zooms out exposing parts that are not supposed to be in the game.

Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks guys!

I didn't open your CAPX but I think this might help, it's something I employ in most of my games

emoaeden thanks for helping. But what you are showing is how to zoom am I correct? Actually I've got that part done already. What I want is to make sure that the zoom doesn't go over the layout size, since it will shows the outside part of the game. emoaeden I do appreciate the effort!

Hopefully someone is able to help.

Yahoo!! I just found a solution to what I am looking for.

For those who are interested, all I did was create a border sprite and placed tham on the layout borders, and make it invisible. Than when it is on screen, I just stopped the zooming. Haha so simple.

— Thanks for your capx. Unfortunately, I can't open it right now. I am using an older version, and I am on holiday, and am using my limited prepaid internet. Will definitely download and see your capx once I get back home!
