Hi,

I have 7 animations I want to trigger. They should be x seconds apart, is there a better way than to setup 7 timers and 7 eventlisteners. The animateButton method takes a start and end x postion. I have 7 of these (see below) but I want to stagger them so they don’t all trigger at once.

about\_but.animateButton (0, 0);  
contact\_but.animateButton (20, 127);  
equipment\_but.animateButton (80, 254);  
//etc etc.
