I'm making a game where one takes a picture of their face to use on a character. I have them zoom in on the picture, but the bitmapdata extends out of its movieclip. How do I assign bounds to my bitmapdata?

I think you need to dynamically create a shape with the x, y, width, and height of what you want to be visible, make it a mask and then add it to the display list in front of the bitmap data's movie clip. See this article on the subject.

Use the scrollRect property of your Bitmap. Here's the API documentation. You might also be interested in the following question/answer.
