So I’m trying to make something that will take a string, break it into words or letters and then add everything as a individual clickable texfields. What I have right now is this and it’s breaking the string just right. However, I was wondering about how it would be best to make it so the textfields are aligned correctly. Basically, I want to line them up as if they were a normal sentence or paragraph and then turn the .clickable boolean on for everything so they can be clicked after a certain event. I figured looping through the array and turning those to true would be easy but I’m not sure about how I could add them in the order I want without having to hard code it. Any ideas or suggestions? Should I just scrap and rework what I have?

```auto
var list:String = "Hello World";
var words:Array = list.split(" ");
        

for(var i:int = 0; i < words.length; i++)
{
    var letters:Array = words*.split("");
    trace(words*);
    trace(letters);
    
    
    for(var j:int = 0; j < letters.length; j++)
    {
        if(letters[j] == "a")
        {
            
        }
    }
}

```
