Draggable frames maintaining relative frames?

[stako]

So's I've created a little cooldown icon for each of the blizzard default arena unitframes. It tracks the cooldown of each player's PVP trinket. By default I have the trinket icon sitting a little bit to the right of the unitframe:

trinket:SetPoint("LEFT", ArenaEnemyFrame1, "RIGHT", 2, -2)

I've also made it draggable. But after dragging it, the icon loses its relativity to ArenaEnmyFrame1 and is instead relative to UIParent. Is there any way to circumvent this? I have the arena frames draggable too, so I want the trinket icon to follow the arena frames when they're dragged, but also allow users to move the trinket icon itself so it doesn't always have to be to the right of the arena frame.

Thanks.

You'll have to hook the OnDeagStop handler, then have it clear and reset the anchor based on its current position.

Stako I had this with rBBS aswell.

--so we want to move a frame that is actually hooked to the dragframe
  --do make this work we need to trick, because drag functionality ignores the parented frame and used UIParent...we don't want that, because the child would not move with the parent anymore
  local calcPoint = function(s)
    if s:GetParent():GetName() ~= "UIParent" then
      local Hx, Hy = s:GetParent():GetCenter()
      local Ox, Oy = s:GetCenter()
      if(not Ox) then return end
      local scale = s:GetScale()
      Hx, Hy = floor(Hx), floor(Hy)
      Ox, Oy = floor(Ox*scale), floor(Oy*scale)
      local Tx, Ty = (Hx-Ox)*(-1), (Hy-Oy)*(-1)
      s:ClearAllPoints()
      s:SetPoint("CENTER",s:GetParent(),Tx/scale,Ty/scale)
    end
  end

You have to dig into the code I guess...

I have a drag frame container and move frames that are parented to to the drag frame container in relative position to the center of the drag frame container.

calcPoint is called OnDragStop and on PLAYER_LOGIN event (because the position of saved frames in layout-local.txt needs to be rechecked on loadup).
