Cool. I've just been blindsided (just this morning) with some serious work
and a brutal deadline, so I'll try and contribute when I can.
As an example this looks good to me. Looks like you got your method/handler
names already in place. Is this the only object? Will it be communicating
with other objects? I believe you mentioned a slider in your previous post?
