Change y-axis of other symbols

Hi.

An approach would be:

- Put all of your thumbs inside of a container called something like "column";

- Create a function that positions the thumbs in a column layout;

- Assign a click listener to the column container;

- Check if the clicked object (e.target) is the close button;

- Remove the thumb that the close button belongs to;

- Run again the function that positions the thumbs.

Like this (without using advanced layers mode, supposing that is AS3 and that the close button has its mouseChildren property set to false):

AS3 code:

import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
function createColumn(offset:Number = 0):void
{
    for (var i:uint = 0, total:uint = column.numChildren; i < total; i++)
    {
          var child:MovieClip = column.getChildAt(i) as MovieClip;
          child.y = (child.height + offset) * i;
    }
}
createColumn(10);
column.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    if (e.target.name == "button")
    {
          e.currentTarget.removeChild(e.target.parent);
          createColumn(10);
    }
});
