i have faced that exact issue and have an "iterator safe" smooth patch
in development-stasis: i coded a smooth patch that kept an array of
state variables controlled by an iterations input, however i
encountered some unexpected behaviour and haven't finished the test
cases to work out exactly what was going on.
i will either get to the bottom of it, or post here / file a bug
certainly in the next month, hopefully sooner. so if you can wait,
watch this space. if somebody gets there first and releases it, all
the better =]
toby
ps, and imho - the iterator concept needs some love from the dev team.
the patch does its job by the letter of the law, but hardly the spirit
of a "just works" environment: this being an example. i will be filing
some bug reports / feature requests around this just once i've coded
my work-arounds.

hi all
i am facing some problems with the iterator patch with a smooth
patch inside it.
The iterator patch was used to recursively draw a sphere over
several locations in the rendering window.
The locations of these will change based on some condition.
i was trying to smoothen the animation of the sphere moving between
states instead of "jumping" from one state to another.
the initial test was done without the smooth function and the
spheres all appeared in the right places. (jumping around as the
state changes).
but once the "Smooth" patch was introduced to help "smoothen" the
jumping around motion, the spheres no longer appeared in the right
places.
in fact, they all seemed to take only the state of the last sphere.
i was wondering if i am doing anything wrong here?
or if the "smooth" path doesn't work work well inside the interator
patch?
i attached the QC here for critique
thanks lots
