Indexing a node below a parent node?

[hishadow]

My problem: Attached within my node-hierarchies are text that I want to stay behind "sibling" node-hierarchies. Only solution I've found now is to attach the text to the root node, but then they loose their positional/scalar relationship to the node-hierarchies they're part of.


Are anyone aware about a solution to this problem?

I'm using that for some parts, but was kinda hoping for a simple index hack. :) Since the index range is 0..n I guess Adobe exluded negative indexing because of performance maybe. I'll use as you suggested some manual node transformations for the text too.
