hi Ben this is great stuff I forgot to add one thing though the reason why I am doing all this is to improve the performance
things started to get a bit choppy with so many objects and i figured maybe your class could temporarialy *remove those events* (and not just move them over to an array) and then put them back in 'the easy way' i could write like this for all of my classes I guess, have a public function that would toggle on and off appropriate events but if your class could do this globally that would be kick ass possible?
