[Golist] sequencing through a set of tweens...

[Cadete B7]

ah, yes...  all very illuminating.  i think i'm starting to get the  
idea...  but instead of using onDurationComplete i was thinking i'd  
use the controller's _position value as the trigger...  that way i  
could use the controller's easing function to trigger the start of  
each SequenceCA...  does that make sense?  i was thinking i could use  
this to not only trigger animation sequences but to cycle through data  
trees too (not sure why yet).
