I got curious about this so gave it a try. I was able to do it in 18 
lines of script without the use of any snapshots. The basic idea is just 
to scroll a group containing a resized image so that its scroll 
corresponds to the location the mouse is over in the original image. I 
was surprised at how simple it is and I think it's easier on the engine 
than taking repeated snapshots at close intervals.

I uploaded to Rev Online. Look for "Magnifying an image" under my name.
