  From what i see from the example you linke you should do this way

  store all your movieClips into an array then do with this for cycle
  mc_array // that is the array of your movie clips
  for (var i = 0; i < mc_array.length; i++)
  {
  mc = array_mc[i]
  if (i ==0)
  {
  mc._x = [your x position]
  mc._y = [your y position]
  } else{
  prev_mc = array_mc.[i-1]
  mc._x = prev_mc._x+ prev_mc._width + [distance]
  if (mc._x+ mc._widt > [available width])
  {
  mc._y = prev_mc._y + prev_mc.height + [distance]
  }else {
  mc._y = prev_mc._y
  }
  }
  }

  That should do
  between square brackets are the numeric value you should know/determine according to what you need.

  Better if you put this into a function and you call it everytime you resize the stage.
