Custom scrolller - issue with multiple objects....
Hi,
I'm developing a very simple custom scroller as a proof of concept. The idea is to have a background image(content_mc), lay multiple objects(myContent) on top of the image, and scroll them all as a cohesive unit. However, I can not scroll myContent appropriately; each object has a unique position and when I try to scroll them, they all assume one position(in which everything overlaps), move to that position and then scroll(see the ### comment below). Does anyone know how to accomplish this?(or does any of this not make the slightest bit of sense?) 
Thx for any help,

var rect:Rectangle;var scrollerMinY:Number = scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.y;
var contentMaxY:Number = content_mc.y;
var padding:Number = 40;
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.buttonMode = true;
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragIt);
function dragIt(e:MouseEvent):void {
rect = new Rectangle(4, 3, 0, 180);
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.startDrag(false, rect);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollIt);
}
function dropIt(e:MouseEvent):void {
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.stopDrag();
scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, scrollIt);
}
function scrollIt(e:Event):void
{
var scrollerRange:Number = rect.height;
var contentRange:Number = content_mc.height - mask_mc.height + padding;
var percentage:Number = (scrollbar_mc.scroller_mc.y - scrollerMinY) / scrollerRange;
var targetY:Number = contentMaxY - percentage * contentRange;
content_mc.y = targetY;
//###Herein lies the problem; I can not get multiple clips to align consistently like content_mc
for(var i:int = 0;i<myContentArray.length;i++)
{
var myContent:Object = MovieClip(root).getChildByName(myContentArray);
myContent.y = targetY - myContent.y;
}
}
