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.

I am a new user of Revolution and apologize for missing many of the past discussions. I hope someone can help with the following question, which I could not immediately find addressed in the documentation: Can I establish a "parent-child" relationship within Revolution in the following 2 situations: a. Can I arrange it so that while the program is running, the user can move a graphic and have another graphic follow along? b. Can I attach a button to a scrolling field such that the button scrolls along with the field? An advice would be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays to all.
