make a grid menu using an array

Question

Hi,I was wondering if there is a way to make a menu of buttons from an array arrange themselves in a 3x3 grid.I have used code i have gotten from this forum to place them next to each other onto the stage (which was quit awesome) and i have found code to place them in a rotating cell from an array but is it possible to do it as a grid?Any help would be great

use Math.floor and the modulo operator to construct grids:

var xSpace:int = 100;

var ySpace:int=100;

var rowNum:int=3;

var colNum:int=3;

for(var i:int=0;i<yourarray.length;i++){

yourarray.x=xSpace*i%rowNum;

yourarray.y=ySpace*Math.floor(i/colNum);

}
