Hi,

I have a movieclip called \_container which I’m adding to the stage 6 times (it will be dynamic so the number can vary). To do that, I’m using a for loop like this.

```auto

for(var i:int = 0; i <= 5; i++){ 		
    _container = new container;
				
    _container.x = 45;
    _container.y = 200 + (i* 95);
    addChild(_container);
}

```

Everything works so far, my problem is that I would like to have the MC displayed like this:

How can I have the second, fourth, etc… with a different x value? Any Ideas?

Thank you in advance.
