If I understand you correctly, the shapes should move at different
speeds, depending on their depth / z-coordinate?

You may need ActionScript for that. Something like

.sprite container
    .put shape1 x=0 y=0
    .put shape2 x=0 y=0
    .put shape3 x=0 y=0
    .put shape4 x=0 y=0 

    .frame 1
    .action:
        // shape depths (z-coordinate)
        z0 = 1;
        z1 = 10;
        z2 = 20;
        z3 = 30;
        z4 = 40;
    .end
    .frame 2
    .action:
        shape1._x = _parent._x * z1 / z0 - _parent._x;
        shape2._x = _parent._x * z2 / z0 - _parent._x;
        shape3._x = _parent._x * z3 / z0 - _parent._x;
        shape4._x = _parent._x * z4 / z0 - _parent._x;
    .end
    .frame 3
    .action:
        GotoFrame(2);
    .end
.end
.put container x=0

.frame 50
.move container x=50
