I have an isometric scene in which I want move several separate movieclips as a group to form a custom cursor.

The movieclips have to be separate in order to maintain proper depth sorting.

My movieclips are stored in an array. If I only have one mc in my array, I can set the x,y no problem. But if I have multiple mcs in my array, the x,y positions all collapse to the mouseX, mouseY.

I need to figure out how to maintain the separate mcs original x,y to each other but move them as a group in the stage space.

Anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?
