By default 0 is value used for x,y whenever they are set to null. One way to get relative position is to use setAnchor(). See dynapi.api.dynlayer-anchor-anchoring.html for some information.
The other thing is to create a setPosition() function that will allow a user to set the position of the layer inside the document. Or we could simple cause the DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is null. Options: --------- 1) Create a setPosition() function 2) Cause DynLayer to not set left/top values if x/y is null - results to a relative layer. Which option is more suited for this kind of functionality? -- Raymond Irving --- Kevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I may have lost the plot.
