Actually, this should be pretty easy- 
use .jpeg for both images, .put one into the scene, and wrap the second
around a .startclip/.end- all that's left is to modify the position of
the second image according to the current mouse position with some
ActionScript.

However, if you want to do a zoom tool like this properly, you should
probably be using tiles. (Depending on what resolution the high
resolution has)
