relative position of a target within a group

[Phil Davis]

Hi Mark,

Here's one way you can use with any grouped object.

on mouseUp -- in a grouped button
    put the locWithinGroup of me
end mouseUp


getProp locWithinGroup
    -- return card-relative loc if target object is not in a group
    if word 1 of the name of the owner of the target is not "group"
    then return the loc of the target

    -- return the loc of the target object relative to its 'owner' group
    return \
           (item 1 of the loc of the target - the left of the owner of 
the target), \
           (item 2 of the loc of the target - the top of the owner of 
the target)
end locWithinGroup

HTH -
