Hi.  Which 3.0?  ;-)  beta1 (2 years old) or beta2 (released last week). 
And which browser(s) yield the erroneous behavior?  To my understanding, 
getX/Y is relative to parent, and getPageX/Y is relative to page.  So 
the usage seems correct at first glance.  I'll take a closer look.

Hmm, what looks odd to me are these...

var photo = dynapi.document.addChild( new DynLayer(null,0,0,600,400) );
var bg1 = photo.addChild(new DynLayer(null,0,0,600,400));
var lyr1 = photo.addChild(new DynLayer(null,$x,$y,10,10,'red'));

Normally, I assign DynLayer directly to a variable, configure it, and 
when done use dynapi.document.addChild.  I'll try both ways and see what 
happens.

> I have a relative layer down in the html: 
> dynapi.document.insertChild(photo,'relative');

This I don't understand... you already added the DynLayer "photo" to the 
document once above, now you wish to insert it?  So there should be two 
instances, is this correct?  Is it even possible, again, I never tried 
that.  :-)  I'll fiddle around and get back later today.
