Positioning a picture placeholder generated by a button

Question

Hi. Have built a form in LiveCycle to be completed via reader. Has buttons to add optional repeating 'Opportunity' subform.
Within this subform there is a button to generate an additional picture placeholder subform.
Problem is can generate 'Opportunity' subforms (2, 3 etc) but additional picture placeholder always appears in first instance of opportunity subform regardless whether generated from button in (say) opportunity subform 3.
Phew!
Maybe easier to have the whole file?
No option to upload here anymore?
Thanks

Hi Steve
Image placeholder is an image filed with defined dimensions
form1.OpportunitySubform.PicandTextSubform.PicSubform.AddPictureButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
// nSubLength stores the number of XML elements contained in Subform1.
// var nSubLength = OpportunitySubform.nodes.length;
// nNumSub is used to calculate the number of subform objects contained in Subform1.
// var nNumSub = 0;
// This script uses a For loop to cycle through all of the objects contained
// in Subform1.
// for (var nCount = 0; nCount < nSubLength; nCount ++) {
// If the current XML element in Subform1 is of type subform, then increment
// the variable nNumSub by one.// if (OpportunitySubform.nodes.item(nCount).className == "subform") {
// nNumSub = nNumSub + 1;
// An if-else statement is used to prevent form authors from adding more than the
// maximum number of five subform instances to a form.
// if (nNumSub == 5) {
// xfa.host.messageBox("The maximum allowable number of subforms is 5. You cannot add any more subforms.", "Warning", 3);
// else {
// This script uses the addInstance() method to add a new instance of the
// Subform2 object contained in Subform1.// form1.OpportunitySubform.PicandTextSubform.PicSubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
if  (form1.OpportunitySubform.PicandTextSubform.PicSubform.instanceManager.count<5) {
// This script uses the addInstance() method to add a new instance of the
// Subform2 object contained in Subform1.form1.OpportunitySubform.PicandTextSubform.PicSubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
}else {xfa.host.messageBox("The maximum allowable number of subforms is 5. You cannot add any more subforms."
, "Warning", 3);}
That's the code. Can add a new subform 1 fine.
If I then generate a new pic in the second instance of subform 1 it places the pic in the first instance of subform 1.
