Hello!

I bring a number of movieclips to the stage with a for loop. Now I want to give each one of those movieclips a predetermined x and y value. What I want to achieve is something similar to the image below. So I don’t want my movieclips to be in a perfect row, which would be quite easy, and I don’t want them to be randomly positioned either. So what would be the solution?

Thanks :red:
