Divide the thumbpos by the endvalue to get a percentage, and use it to 
calculate the number of pixels from the scrollbar left (assuming a 
horizontal scrollbar,) and then add the left of the scrollbar object 
itself to that number to get the x position of the thumb on the card.

put the thumbpos of sb 1 / the endvalue of sb 1 into tPercent
put the width of sb 1 * tPercent into tSBPixels
put the left of sb 1 + tSBPixels into tCdXPos
