Go ahead, make them. Making zoomers really isn't hard at all.

Any program that make alpha-blended (transparent) PNG files. Photoshop will do, or Paintshop Pro, or Corel. You just need to create your original image bigger, then make a copy of it a little smaller and place it next to it, then another yet smaller again, etc. Place all your animation images next to each other in the same file. Then put the effects you want (glow, dorp shadow, whatever). And save as a 24 bits PNG with transparency support. You can then create your new object in DX using that image.

I suggest you just look at existing zoomer objects and see how they are made. You'll catch on quickly.
