Well,
Taken from the dynapi.util.thread.html example:
thread = new Thread();
thread.sleep(20);
thread.run = function() {
do your stuff here
}
thread.start();
Now looking at this, it looks like we're initiating a new occurrence of
thread, doesn't that mean that we are adding another setTimeout, thus
defeating the whole idea, or does thread add our animation to one setTimeout
used for all animations?
