Arranging imported content

programming flash
1

ive got a confusing one here im importing movieclips via xml for design reasons i have to have lots of movieclips trust me on this one so ive got

_level0.Sideplane.Content.SideplaneTile0.Tile.Importer

Now that looks mad ill try to explain Sideplane is a movieclip allready there Content is dynamicly generated

then we have SideplaneTile its a movieclip that i attach in xml inside we have 2 movieclips Background and Importer all those two do is import the swf based on a variable set by the xml and background is set to the same size as the imported mc because the msc will be of different sizes .

So im trying to get around the fact that theyre different sizes . i need a way of getting the imported mcs to arrange virticly normaly id just set the icon.y = itemcount * 32 but the size changes so i have a problem

I need a way of getting around this can anyone help

heres the code

var item_count = 0;
var test_Content:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(“Sidebar_Content”, this.getNextHighestDepth());

function CreateMenu(test){
var items = test.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<items.length; i++) {
if (items*.attributes.type == “item”) {

		var Name = items*.firstChild;
		var Link = items*.childNodes[1];
		var Height = items*.childNodes[3];
		
		var Tile = test_Content.attachMovie("item","item"+item_count, item_count);
		Tile._y = Math.floor(i/1)*32; // changes so im stuck
		Tile._x = 0;
		
		item_count++;
		
		item.item.Link = Link.firstChild.nodeValue;
		item.item.Name = Name.firstChild.nodeValue;
		
	}
}

}

var XAML = new XML();
XAML.ignoreWhite = true;
XAML.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) CreateMenu(this);
else trace(“Error loading XML file”);
}
XAML.load(“test.xml”);
