I had the same situation when I was implementing animation based on my
simple scripting language in ParaGUI.
What have I done?

1) allow idle app calls
2) every idle event will call a function DoAnimation() of a widget, or
group of them
3) DoAnimation(): I check current ticks and if the current tick is the
tick to draw next frame, so draw it. If it reaches the last frame -
stop animation.

This approach is quite transparent to all user events. I tried to use
timer for animation and user responces, but I`ve faced problems with MP3 
playback and
some user events.

If this somehow helps... I`m glad :)


PS. I`ve posted 2 questions about zooming and transparent fading, but
didn`t receive any answer... I have problems to cross-fade 2 pictures,
maybe anybody has any thoughts - I will appreciate any help!


Kind regards,
       taurus
