Create a parallax component that relies on mouse

So, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My project well best explain but basically I need a moving control component and it relies on the mouse. Problem is, I'm using parallax to make it move and that has coordinates than the other project. I can't modify the mouse to be a part of that layer (AFAIK). So what can I do?

Here's the project, note the function works.

Here's my attempt at making the stick move along with the player, notice it doesn't interpret the mouse correctly.

Thanks.

Put the control objects on the UI layer, then instead of mouse.x and mouse.y, use mouse.x("UI") and mouse.y("UI").

Wow, such a simple solution thanks! I tend to over-analyse these things.
