Hi Everyone

I’ve created a component within a component, however when I’m trying to change the property of the child component I can’t. I can only change the parent component.

compOne.compTwo.move(x,y); // Does nothing.  
compOne.move(x,y); // Moves the parent component, to x and y.

Have I got the syntax wrong?
