Parent Layer Movement

I'm trying to do something similar to the dragable layers demo and I've run into a strange bug. Essentially, when setting the x values for some layers, that are naturally nested within their parents in the xml, the parent elements move as well. I've checked and no other method is being called, nothing in the code is affecting their movement explicitly, only their children. It has to been some sort of property that I haven't seen on the documentation. Does anyone know what this could be?

For anyone that's encountered something similar to this. The issue had something to do with certain elements loading prior to others. I resolved this by running a delayedcall on the action.
