  can someone help me how to position a duplicate movie clip i'm having trouble with computation here's the code....

  the problem is that i can't position the movie clip myLetter with a certain condition the first for loop works fine but when it comes to the second loop the  position is kind of a mess

  by the way the second loop means an enter or the second line...

  it should  looks like this if the condition is met

  _ _ _ _ _ _ _

  _ _ _ _ 

   

  for (var j = 0; (j<guesslen && s!=">"); j++)
  {
   s = guessword.charAt(j);
   var theLine = myLetter.duplicateMovieClip("myLetter"+theclip, theclip+1);
   theLine._x = xpos+((wclip+hspace)*j);
   trace(theLine._x)
   theLine._y = ypos;
   theclip++;
   theLine.letter = "M";
   if (s==">"){
   theLine._visible = false
   }
  }
  //----------------------------
  trace(j)
  for (var j = j; j<guesslen; j++)
  {
   s = guessword.charAt(j);
   hx = 1;
   trace(s)
   var theLine = myLetter.duplicateMovieClip("myLetter"+theclip, theclip+1);
   theLine._x = 3*2
   trace(theLine._x )
   theLine._y = 260
   theclip++;
   theLine.letter = "M";// just a textfield
   hx++
  }

  Dear AngelDust

  MakeAsteroid() function and add the following code beneath the lines that position the duplicate movie clip:
       asteroidArray[num_clips] = _root["asteroid_mc" + num_clips];
