The problem is that even if you change the scaling, you are not changing the
position of the black box in relation of your "local" movieclip. Your black
box is only "moving" in relation to the movieclip parent.
What you seem to want are the coordinates in relation to the parent
movieclip.
To get that, you have to "convert" the coordinates values from your local
movie-clip to its parent. In short: get the bounding rectangle and convert
xMin,xMax, etc. There are methods specifically for that
(localToGlobal/GlobalToLocal). It will do all the dirty computation
(translation, scaling, rotation).
good luck!
