to display a maximum of 5 messages each time

[D-flyer]

aaargggh i am stuck (again)

This is what i got (working):
1 a simple guestbook (flash 5 frontend)
2 the input data is being written thru a php srcipt to a xml file
3 flash displays the data
4 buttons(prev. +next) to naigate thru the messages

But that ain't my stillo this is what i want:
1 to display a maximum of 5 messages each time
2 so i got buttons with 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 15-20 etc
3 all captured in a mc, so i can animate it.

This is what i got so far (ain't working):
on frame 3 (main timeline):

for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip ("message", "message"+i, i);
setProperty ("message"+i, _x, (50+i*170));
curRecord = i;
}


Any suggetions???
