Using QT Transitions

probably the best way to store QT transitions is to use 
customproperties.

Like:

...
answer effect
set the QTgradientwipe1 of this stack to it
## or whatever name you choose
...

This way it will be saved with the stack and you can use it later with:

...
set the effectrate to 500
# ***
visual the QTgradientwipe1 of this stack very slow
## Will take 500 millisecs now
go next cd
## or whatever...
...

*** Us "the effectrate" (in millisecs!) to control the "very slow" 
transition speed...?!
Yes, it is a bit semantically challenging to understand that the "very 
slow" speed
(see the docs for "visual") can be controlled with "the effectrate" 
this way ;-)

Hope that helps...
