Placing elements into a dynamically created movieClip

programming flash

I am trying to create a navigation element. The items in the navigation are created dynamically from data in an XML file. What I would like to do is create a new movie clip then place all of the navigation elements into that movie clip so I can move it around as one piece.

Here is a simplified example of my code:


var navContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); //clip to add elements to
addChild(navContainer);

//Create nav elements that I want inside navContainer//
	var reels:Array = [];

	function createReels():void {
		var reelPosX:Number = 336;
		for each (var titleElement:XML in titleList) {
			var reel:navReel = new navReel();
			addChild(reel);
			reel.width = 119;
			reel.height = 119;
			reel.x = reelPosX;
			reel.y = 10;
			reels.push(reel);
			
			reelPosX+=155;
		}
	}

I hope this makes sense. Thanks.
