Hi Joe, List Thanks for the tip. I have been trying your approach and using the "childCreated" and "childDestroyed" events of the Tile container to apply me effect, but I cant figure out how to get the UI to wait for the effect to render before proceeding (i.e within the handler for childDestroyed, I want the effect to start and finish, before the child gets destroyed).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
