Hello,

I have a little problem. I am trying to draw random colored rectangles. I want to have them everywhere. Repeat them at X and Y. Its just repeating at X. Dunno why it dont want to take “for loop” at Y position ☹

```auto

var posX:Number = 0;
var posY:Number = 0;
var repeatWidth:Number = (stage.stageWidth/11);
var repeatHeight:Number = (stage.stageHeight/11);

for (var j:int; j < repeatHeight; j++){
    for (var i:int; i < repeatWidth; i++){
        var myColor = Math.round( Math.random()*0xFFFFFF );
        var rectangle:Shape = new Shape;
        rectangle.graphics.beginFill(myColor);
        rectangle.graphics.drawRect(posX, posY, 10,10); 
        rectangle.graphics.endFill();
        addChild(rectangle);
        posX += 11;
        }
}

```
