This was brought up a while ago and I just wanted to mention it again
continuous scaling for other directions like left right up down
(http://sylpher.com/kafka/junk/agsscaling.gif)
just a suggestion on how it could be added to the gui. just click the arrow in the direction you want it to shrink and voila.
personally i would use this quite a bit and it could effect the future design of some games [as in layout of backgrounds] in very interesting ways.

edit: to trapezoid: well... cause.......... i like drawing buttons...

Why not just use two buttons: Vertical and Horizontal. Then allow the first zoom level to be lower than the second (currently AGS won't let you have inverse scaling...)
Good idea eric, I'll see how hard it would be to implement.
