On Swishzone.com is a new Tutorial for a Magnifying Glass released.
Download see below….

This SWiSH Max2 project demonstrates how to make a magnifying glass effect that allows a section of an image (or movie clip) to be shown in ‘magnified’ detail. Try it by dragging the “magnifying glass” to the area that you wish to view in more detail.

The project demonstrates a number of useful concepts including:

use of a pre-loader

startDrag and stopDrag

masking

use of the library (sorry, the content library is not available in SWiSH miniMax2)

The magnify movie clip has its Transform and Reference points set to center and its initial positon is 0,0.

The magnify movie clip has the property ‘Use bottom object as mask’ checked.
