question on control aligment by code...

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Andre,

I think the alignment code is probably very similar to what you were 
already considering, but you only need one loop. Try something like 
this which is a script I used a few days ago to make a group containing 
64 fields in an 8 x 8 grid. Each field was 120 wide and 54 high with 
the top row of fields starting at pixel 44.

on mouseUp
   lock screen
   start editing grp "DataFields"
   repeat with x = 1 to 64
     put "Slot" & x into tF
     if there is not a field tF then
       create fld tF
       -- set properties of the field if required
     end if
     put ((x - 1) div 8) * 120 into tX
     put (((x - 1) mod 8) * 54) + 44 into tY
     set the topLeft of fld tF to (tX & comma & tY)
   end repeat
   stop editing
   beep
end mouseUp

Cheers,
Sarah
