Hi.

I have a slideshow of images, all being loading via Action Script, i have 20 thumbnail that load up into a strip with this code.

xmlPhotos.onLoad = function() {  
for (var i:Number = 0; i\<xmlPhotos.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {  
makeAThumb(i);  
\*\* nextX += 110;\*\*

```
}

```

“NextX + = 110” is what loads them up next to each other nicely.

Okay my problem is i cant work out how to load them into a 5 x 4 grid, with a 10 px gap between them, is this possible? How can i acheive this all through Action Script?

Please Help… ;(
