How to make dynamic Magnifying Glass effect in Flash

Question

I wanted to make a magnifying glass effect in one of my project.

I want this magnifying effect on full flash, i.e. even on dynamic object. So this is why i can't use large static images.

Please suggest me best way to proceed on this problem.
