dump newbie image questiosn

Hi Jon,

The formattedHeight and formattedWidth of an image gives you its  
actual size.
So you can deduce or set the current height and width (zoom in/off)  
from this value.
You can group an image in order to set the boundaries of the part  
that can be seen by the user (group limits) and change the part he/ 
she may see by moving the image inside its locked group.
When setting an image width or height, it's better to set the lockLoc  
of this image to true.
The rest is up to you :-)

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
