Hi

When i call hide for an Object which is in the middle of the animation process so i am fully aware of this.

It seems so that you can only hide objects with are finished with their animation.

Of course you could use the call back event of animate and check a flag on the end to go in hidden state bu why so complicate.

My proposal:

If hide is called for an object in animation state. Set this object immediatelly to its endstate and then apply "hide" on it.
