Hello,

I’ve been struggling with this the entire day. It seems to be very easy, but I really don’t get it.  
I’m loading some text from an external file and I want to put it on an attached MC with a dynamic textfield into it. I use attachMovie and a for statement to do that without any problem. Now I want to put each MC next to each other based on the textfield length (width).  
I know how to place MC created dynamically with a constant spacing, but I really can’t figure out how to place them with base on their width. Any help would be aprreciated
