I have been unable to come up with a good way to put an element inside of another element (and have it truly stay inside that element). For example, I want to create a newText inside of a “view” so that if the “view” was positioned at 100, 100 then if I set the position of the newText inside that “view” to 0,0 it would technically be at 100,100 because it’s inside it’s parent. I have seen that you can insert things into groups, but that doesn’t work well for what I need. I essentially want to put a text inside of an area on the screen, and if that text scrolls up, it disappears from view because it is contained inside that view in the middle of the screen. Sorry if that doesn’t make much sense. [import]uid: 66819 topic_id: 22033 reply_id: 322033[/import]
groups are exactly what you need. what about them isn’t working well?

The fact that a “group” doesn’t have a definable area or location. I want to insert an element into a group (like a rectangle) and have it not able to leave that area of the app once it’s been inserted, like a window. for example: in this image [http://tinypic.com/r/mjlatc/5] the top the red rectangle “answer text area” is a newText inserted into a group but if that text is longer than the allocated area, i want the remaining text to be hidden because it’s technically outside of the “group” area [import]uid: 66819 topic_id: 22033 reply_id: 87608[/import]
