It sounds like you need to use callback functions as the second
argument thusly:
$("#msgContainer").DropInUp(500,function(){
$(this).fadeTo(5000,1,function(){
$(this).DropOutUp(250);
});
});
I am using the fadeTo instead of pause here - its a cool trick that
makes an animation occur for (in this case) 5000 milliseconds with no
visible effect (fade to full opacity from full opacity) so in effect,
its a pause. Instead of chaining the effects and pauses you need to
add each subsequent one as a "callback" argument of the one that
occurs before it. This way, each subsequent effect only begins once
the previous is fully finished.
Hope I haven't misunderstood your problem.
