Hi Carlos, We have not devoted much time and energy to an effects subsystem, so maybe you will be the pioneer in this area.
In my mind, there will be at least two kinds of effects subsystem: planned and unplanned. In a planned effects subsystem, the assumption is that most users will want to implement an effect/transition. The StatesWithTransitionsImpl is an early example of that. Such a subsystem should have a "lifecycle". A known set of events should be dispatched that provide useful opportunities to change the effects start and end conditions. For state changes, the events should be something like transitionStart, transitionEnd, stateChanged. For your cases, the events might be something like effectStart, effectEnd, open/close. If you get the right set of events, then the work you want to defer should happen on an lifecycle event instead of a timer event. In an unplanned effects subsystem, the event system is more sophisticated. The assumption is that it will be rare to have an effect in response to some change in the component. So hide/show effects, selection and focus effects and things like that would be "unplanned". I hope we can find a way to do this in a PAYG way with different/heavier beads, but that is a bit tricky for hide/show since it is built into UIBase. In an unplanned system, there will either be cancelable "ing" events or the target classes have to be able to reverse a property change without flicker. For example, right now if you set the UIBase visible property to false, the component becomes invisible immediately. And similarly if you set visible=true, the component becomes visible immediately. Adding unplanned effect support to visible would require dispatching a cancelable visibleChanging event before actually setting the browser's CSS display property that an effect instance would listen for and cancel, then wait for the effectEnd event and then finally actually set the visible property. Or we'd have to be confident that you can set the CSS display property and set it back without flicker. In summary, having the right events should eliminate the need for timing events.

I'd love to change it sometime in the future, but for now don't know how. I think the actual ways to defer something are: -setTimeOut -setInterval -requestAnimationFrame the first one is in SWF, so the solution is cross SWF/JS, although if we add other targets, maybe will require changes. the second seems to be the worse. the latest seems the actual way to do things in JS, but I tried and didn't work for me, and I suppose we'll need to abstract it to something usable in SWF and future targets. My concrete case in the three ocassions is when I instantiate a component and add a class name to make the component animate (transition) through CSS. For example Alert, DateField and ComboBox popups components and then add a class ".open" in CSS, so we need at least 300-400ms so the transition can play. Any other way to do it would be good to know in order to upgrade this implementations.
