That script works very well. Even if things are moved. I appreciate your time and patience on this. I like this even better. I am still curious why the other one doesn't work properly. Again, Thanks Erik

I did that. Even if I set it to child it uses the screen coordinates, not the coordinates within the container. I set everything manually. I tried addressing the object in script as object.Top and DesktopX.Object("Scroll_Dot").Top didn't matter. Still uses screen coordinates.

OK...there seems to be a slight problem. It works fine except for the following...could be me doing something silly. I used the example pretty much exactly as it was shown, the problem is: the Scroll_Dot object uses the absolute screen coordinates for the scrolling computation, even if I make it the child of the container (it does not use the relative coordinates for it's location to it's parent). So the scrolling works beautifully if I don't move the container. On

Hello all, I am pretty new at the whole DesktopX scripting/creating stuff (not new at programming or scripting), and need a little help. I created a lyrics displaying object that becomes visible when MediaMonkey or WinAmp is running and dissapears when the program is shut off. The object reads the currently playing lyrics from a text file and displays it on the desktop in a nice frame (from one of RomanDA's tutorials...thank you). The object checks the text file for change
