Well I don't think thats likely to work. Because it is in a AWT event and
not in a behavior for one thing. What I would expect to happen is you push
the button and it will do the 100 transforms in under one frame, thus the
next frame will jump the object to the end destination. I do the vast
majority of all my transformations without using interpolator behaviors, but
you need to calculate the transformation icnrement on each frame or there is
no animation.

Michael,
That code looks like it should work. Assuming of course the
TransformGroup and it's object are in the scene with appropriate
capability bits set.
