Displaying a jpg photo larger than my liveCode window ?

[Mike Bonner]

Put the image into a group, size and place the group, then set the lockloc
to true.

I was going to use mouseMove for this, but I couldn't get it to behave as I
liked, and its too early to figure out why, so I used a send loop instead.

Add this code to your group:

local sMouseLoc
on mouseDown
   put the mouseloc into sMouseLoc -- set the start mouse position
   setScroll -- start the loop
end mouseDown

on setScroll
   if the mouse is down then -- only set the scroll while the mouse is down
      if item 1 of sMouseLoc > item 1 of the mouseloc then --this if block
sets the hscroll
         set the hscroll of me to the hscroll of me - (item 1 of the
mouseloc - item 1 of sMouseLoc)
      else
         set the hscroll of me to the hscroll of me + (item 1 of sMouseLoc
- item 1 of the mouseloc)

      end if

      if item 2 of sMouseLoc > item 2 of the mouseloc then -- this if block
sets the vscroll
         set the vscroll of me to the vscroll of me - (item 2 of the
mouseloc - item 2 of sMouseLoc)
      else
         set the vscroll of me to the vscroll of me + (item 2 of sMouseLoc
- item 2 of the mouseloc)

      end if
      put the mouseloc into sMouseLoc
      send setScroll to me in 50 millisec
   else
      put empty into sMouseLoc
   end if
end setScroll


Theres no real need to check scroll bounds, the engine handles things just
fine.

I'm sure this could be greatly improved, but it should give you a general
idea.
