Hey peeps

I want to position the buttons in rows of 4 the buttons are about 30 pixels wide but with the action script I have now everything is generated underneath each other

the code

Actionscript:

onClipEvent(load){
        
        // || Menu Properties ----------------------------
        
        // space between top level menu items
        var menuSpacer = 1;
        // space between sub menu elements
        var subSpacer = 1;
        // the speed the menu items animate. a higher value equals a slower speed
        var menuSpeed = 2;
        // when a menu item is within this value of it's target postion, the animation will be stopped
        var menuTolerance = 1;
        // the time in milliseconds that the sub menus opening animations are staggered
        var subDelay = 100;
        
        // -- Execute Action -------------------------------
        
        function executeAction(arg){
                // do load movie here:
                loadMovieNum(arg,2);
                //display = arg;
        }
        
        // contains the string of the current sub menu or null if no sub menu is open
        var curItem = null;
        // pointer to the menu object structure
        var menuObj = _root.menuObj;
        // enterframe assignment variable
        var onenterframe = null;
        
        // || On Load Actions ----------------------------
        
        
        // -- Build top level menu -------------------------
        
        d = 0;
        for(i in menuObj){
                // attach menu item
                this.attachMovie('item',i,d);
                k = this[i];
                // position menu item
                k._x = 0;
                k._y = (k._height+menuSpacer)*d;
                // set the properties of the menu item
                k.name = menuObj[i].name;
                k.arg = menuObj[i].arg;
                k.sub = menuObj[i].sub;
                k.basey = k._y;
                // hide icon if there is no sub menu for this menu item
                if(k.sub == false){
                        k.icon._visible = false;
                }
                d++;
        }
        
        // -- Top level menu function -----------------------
        
        // selectItem() is called when a top level menu item is released
        // this function will either toggle a sub menu or execute an action
        
        function selectItem(item){
                if(this[item].arg != null && curItem != item){ // if an action is specified and this menu item isn't active
                        // execute a top level action action
                        executeAction(this[item].arg, this[item].jlayer);
                }
                if(this[item].sub == false || curItem == item){
                        // remove current sub menu
                        curItem = null;
                        removeSub();
                }else{
                        // build selected sub menu
                        curItem = item;
                        buildSub(item);
                }
        }
        
        // -- Animate top level menu items ------------------
        
        function menuAnimation(){
                var i, j, k=true;
                for(i in menuObj){
                        j = this[i];
                        j._y += (j.target-j._y)/menuSpeed;
                        if(Math.abs(j.target-j._y)>menuTolerance){
                                k = false;
                        }else{
                                j._y = j.target;
                        }
                }
                if(k){
                        onenterframe = null;
                        if(curItem != null){
                                activateSub();
                        }
                }
        }
        onClipEvent(enterFrame){
                onenterframe();
        }
