Ren'Py Ren'Py Assistance Requried

Been using Daz for quite a while, but only recently started using Renpy. For the most part it had been fairly easy to learn, however I have not been able to determine how or whether the following is possible.

1) Zooming background that starts out as a zoomed out 2160p image and then zooms into the center portion of the image. Would like it to transition from zoomed out to zoomed in over a few seconds. After zoomed in then I can apply text to it.

2) The 'h' buttom is used to hide text windows. however I was wondering if you could adjust the game settings file to also hide character images laid over the background. The code below is an example of what I currently have.

    scene e01 006
    show tiff flirt:
        xalign 0.03
        yalign 1.0
    tiff "Hi Xav!"

Hence when the user hits the 'h' button only scene e01 006 remains. Note that the 'show tiff flirt' is a small png character image that sits next to the text.

show 100 with Dissolve(1):
        xalign 0.5
        zoom 1.0
        linear 10 zoom 1.5

This is a code I used to zoom in, just change values for directions.

10 is time taken to zoom in

For the second part you will have to create a function and then bind it to h.

It don't hide the text window, but everything except the "screen" layer (if I remember correctly), and everything defined as overlay. So, just put the characters on another

, and it should works.
This said, what we expect when pressing "h" is to see the girl, not the place she is.

Works like a charm. Whilst this is zooming the show image rather than the background, it still looks good and covers what I require.

Whilst I couldn't get the layer implementation to work, it did however direct me down a path where I discovered the 'image side' attribute against text. This is a far better solution than what I was doing previously, as it should be easier to manage and also will reduce the coding. For reference I have included in the spoiler below and example of what I was attempting to do.

Thank you both for your rapid response. I think this has me covered for what I require at present.

sorry if you want to zoom the background replace show with scene, i think that should work
