[Golist] HydroSequence Looping Issue

Here's the thing: I'm creating a banner rotator, which basically does the
following:
1. reads an XML file
2. creates banner(s) on the fly based on the XML parameters
3. adds the banner(s) to a queue
4. the sequence rotates the item(s) on the queue indefinitely
So I'm not really reusing a sequence; rather I initialize the sequence
object on my init() function, and then call my addBanner() function, which
adds the addStep() parameters to said sequencer object. I then call
__sequence.start() once all the banners have been parsed/added to the queue.
Does this clear it up a bit?
