This was a fun little challenge. Try this stack via your message box (3.8MB download): go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/map_zoom.livecode";
Click the map to zoom, click again to zoom out. Until we get built-in easing effects in the engine (needed desperately), I¹m a big proponent of Malte¹s Animation Engine. The command I used is aeChangeRect, and depending on how large your map is, you may need to toggle the resizeQuality of the image to get best performance, which is done here. It¹s unlikely you¹ll get as smooth performance as you can within a browser, as is done with Google Maps, so you might investigate using a ³real² map if you can, via the browser object, or use something like jQuery to manipulate the map image within the browser. Hope this helps.
