Let’s say we duplicate a movie clip by clicking on a button. Each time the button is clicked the duplicated movie clip is aligned next to the previous one. How can I “trace” or monitor when the duplicated movie clip reaches/overlaps the stage width. What I’m willing to do is to auto-align the MC in a new line if it overlaps the stage width ( and so on ).

PS: and yeah, after it overlaps the width once, then if I add a new MC it should continue the new line 😛
