I'm not sure what your stack does exactly, but the "move" command might
be handy. It is all set up to animate objects and handle the locking
business for you. You can either move a single object smoothly across
the screen, or you can "lock moves", move a bunch of them, and then
"unlock moves" to set them all in motion. It's preferable to setting
object locations inside a repeat loop, because during the "move"
execution, you can set it up so that user actions and system messages
continue normally while the move is happening.
