Ive got a feeling that its related to the script being compiled at execution time, which is how Javascript works. I figured out a work-around that I will test tonight. Ill have a panel cover the entire window showing progress of turning on all the equipment, while having it run through the animation process underneath.

My code is pretty ugly, I was testing if the remote would be capable of running this before dumping too much time into it. Ill use loops and arrays to cut down the amount of code needed. But here it is anyway, from the advanced tab of the page properties. Each "flip sequence" animates the tiles in a different mannor,. also for testing to see what looks better.
