Did you examine the Queue section of the script.aculo.us website? http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/effect-queues
i don't use the animation library that much, so i can't offer much help. Sorry. Animations are nice, but in my mind, they're more often a waste of CPU cycles to an otherwise streamlined application. Maybe if animations become part of the core functionality of HTML or CSS that'll improve. i can see the usefulness, just not very often in my work does it apply. Hope that queue page offers some help though. -joe t.
