To add to what Jeremy was saying:
Pick an event handler and count the number of items you have in your list. Create a
repeat loop with a range of 1 to x, where x is the number of items in your list. Then
puppet your sprites and set their properties. The code would look something like this.
on myhandler
x = count(mylist) -- number of items in your list
repeat with i = 1 to x -- make the numbers match the range
-- of sprite channels you want to use.
puppetsprite i, 1 -- puppet the sprite channel
sprite(i).member = member("myimage") -- you image
sprite(i).loc = point(x,y) -- the location you want
end repeat
end
Don't forget to unpuppet your sprites when you don't want them to apear
