Parent-child relationship in Revolution

[Thomas McGrath III]

I don't know how others would do this but I would use a Custom Property 
to store the name of the 'child' graphic or whatever. Then via script 
move the child which ever way you want.
If you it is relative move than store the 'move' coordinates and then 
move the  child by that.


Make a new custom property called CustPropChild (or whatever) and put 
the name of the child graphic into it. You might have to put quotes 
before and after the myChild.

on moveMe
	put the CustPropChild of me into myChild
	put the loc of me into myLoc
	set the loc of graphic myChild to myLoc
end moveMe

on mouseUp
	moveMe
end mouseUp

Others will help you more but the Custom Prop is great for storing 
things like this associated with a particular graphic/field etc.
