Actually I use the Timeline patch a lot right after a JS patch: For example, I 
connect the "animationTime" output from the JS in my text transition sample to 
the "Patch Time" input of a Timeline patch (which you can get, if you right 
click on the patch and select "Timebase -> External"). The animationTime value 
goes from 0 to 1 and so I can easily do multiple values depending on that one 
animationTime (e.g. a xyz-path of a sprite, an alpha value for a transition, 
RGB-Color values with easy-in/out or bouncing values and much more!) The nice 
thing about that separate Timeline is, that you can manipulate your animation 
parameters without touching the state machine (because it is in the JS patch).
