MX - Scaling and positioning issue

I have a movie clip
clip01_mc
which contains another movie clip
subClip_mc

What I would like be able to do is… rescale the parent movie (clip01_mc) without affecting the scale of the child (subClip_mc)… is this possible to achieve? And is this possible to achieve whilst maintaining the positioning of the child clip.

so if clip01_mc would scale to 500percent, the subClip_mc would remain unaffected, although would reposition itself in relation to the scaled parent clip.

I believe that makes some sense… Is there a tutorial, or a similar post, at this stage I havent managed to find one…

Thanks for the help…
