Layout with rows defined by variables

Question

Joint Venture Name is one of our characteristics. We will create a planning layout with two rows, for two different Joint Venture Names selected by the user. The Joint Venture Names should be selected by the user, preferably when opening the layout using a planning folder.
We are already using variables for making the user select year and period in other layouts. This is easily done by using variables in the planning level (or package) selection. But these values are only a part of the header area in those layouts.
Variables may easily be inserted in the rows of the layout. The problem is to set their values. The variables are defined as Fixed Value. "Restriction of Value Required by User" is checked. When entering a range in the the Selection Conditions (or nothing), we get an error message when trying to insert the variable into the layout: Variable ASSET1 could not be replaced in row. The problem is we need a single value and not a range. We would like the user to be able to select that single value. Using "Set Variables" doesn't work. We are not allowed to select a value for those variables. No error message though. If we instead enter possible values in the Selection Conditions, one per line, we may use Set Variables to select a single value per variable and then insert them into the layout. The user will then be able to change value later. However, the number of values is large and may change. So adding all possible values is both time consuming to do the first time and to maintain. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Alrighty! Got it working =]
onClipEvent(Load){this.mt="Portfolio";
this.mc=mt // used elsewhere for transition effects
this.texter.autoSize = "left"
rt = this.texter.textWidth
_x=(_root.intro.footer.Home._x)+(_root.intro.footer.Home.rt)+10
on(rollOver){this.gotoAndPlay(11)}
on(rollOut){this.gotoAndPlay(1)}
on(release){
this.gotoAndPlay(21);
_root.sectioncontrol.nextsection=mt;}
What id like to know now if possible, is how to refresh the movie clips?
In the last "link area" of the lower linkbar I have this line of code to determine the correct placement of the first link area upon which all the rest are aligned
widther= (_x+((_root.intro.footer.Home._x)*-1)+rt)
_root.intro.footer.Home._x=(widther/2)*-1
And that places the "Home" link area in the correct location for what I'm looking for,
since all of the other areas get their x locations on load, and I dont want them sitting there checking the area every frame, I know there is a "refresh" function, I'd just like to know how to apply it (when placing after the "middle location" code for home) to the rest of the clips =]
