I would just like to add that __sequence.steps.length does indeed return the correct number of steps, so I am really at a loss as to why __sequence.start() doesn't do anything at all.<div>Any extra help would be truly appreciated!<br clear="all">

Here's the thing: I'm creating a banner rotator, which basically does the following:<div><ol><li>reads an XML file</li><li>creates banner(s) on the fly based on the XML parameters</li><li>adds the banner(s) to a queue</li>
<li>the sequence rotates the item(s) on the queue indefinitely<br></li></ol><div>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.</div>

Can you create a new instance of the HydroSequence?<br>
<br>
Is their a reason you are reusing the same one?<br>
<br>
Might be better at this point to create a new instance of the sequence as<br>
well as populate the props and values and functions?<br>
