I’m looking to create something like the link below,  
[http://www.learningactionscript3.com/2008/05/13/the-power-of-relative-positioning/](http://www.learningactionscript3.com/2008/05/13/the-power-of-relative-positioning/)

however I need it to work on both x and y,  
I’ve been trying for days to figure out a way to pull this off,

can anyone point me to a tutorial or an example of something along those lines?

thanks in advance for any help…
