If I understand what you're trying to do, I accommodate this by designing groups to position themselves when the card is open, using preOpenControl or openControl. Simple example:
-- SCRIPT OF TAB BAR GROUP OR SIMILAR on preOpenControl put rect of this card into theRect put item 4 of theRect - height of me into item 2 of theRect set rect of me to theRect end preOpenControl You might need to fiddle with the rect depending on the fullScreenMode you use. Otherwise you can run script on preOpenCard/openCard to position things where you want.
