Hi Kelvin
first thx for the fast response.
I don't know if i understand it right, but is'nt this method used, when
dealing with more then one behavior (using the same wakeup conditions)?
But in my case there is only one behavior where the two transforms are
done, so the problem is'nt sync'ing serveral behaviors.
The two transforms are done in the processStimulus method of the same
behavior (-instance), but they dont affect the next frame rendered
accordingly :(
Maybe i've mistaken your pointer, but i can't see, how this could be a
solution.
