Summary

0000086: Positioning an object -- new methods needed

Description

Problem: You are deep in a structure of nested objects on the screen. You want to pop up a new object zz, exactly over some deep object mm. When you say (zz position: pt), what should pt be?
Yes, you can compute (mm globalBounds origin) - (mm world project origin), but there really needs to be a name for this quantity.
The position of the new object will be relative to the CProject. CPlayers don't respond to #project. Shall I define it?
There is a message #globalPosition, but it is not defined in CPrimitiveConstume, and gives an error. (Shall I define it?) #globalPosition is probably intended to give the position relative to World, and that is not what we want.
Any ideas about how to make this much easier?
