[Golist] HydroSequence Looping Issue

[Bernardo Kuri]

Here's my new code:
__sequence.addStep(new HydroTween(this, { func:functionOne, args:[whatever]
}, 0, 0, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, false ));
__sequence.addStep(new HydroTween(this, { func:functionTwo }, 0, 0, null,
null, null, null, null, null, null, false ));
__sequence.addStep(new HydroTween(__fader, { start_alpha:1, alpha:0,
duration:__duration_fade }, 0, 0, null, null, null, null, null, null, null,
false ));
__sequence.addStep(new HydroTween(this, { delay:Number(properties. at timeout)
|| __duration_timeout, func:trace, args:['timeout triggered'] }, 0, 0, null,
null, null, null, null, null, null, false ));

I changed the nulls to point to "this", as well as the "false" in the end of
each addStep() call, but I got the same results as before. The __fader
Sprite did not work before or after the change, BTW.
Hope that helps,

Bernardo Kuri
