Heh, it turns out that the solution is very simple. Just put the image and the object that go on top of the image on a container. Then, you can move the container around and keep everything in the proper relative space. Well, that was too obvious. Michael G. Emmons >Ah, that's a good idea. Why didn't I think of that?
