Scott,
The recursion issue is of you have a pair (or more) or setProp handlers
that call back to one another: ie.
setprop propA pValue
set the propA of me to pValue
set the propB of me to pValue / 2
end propA
setProp propB pValue
set the propB of me to pValue
set the propA of me to pValue * 2
end propB
The 1st line of each is okay - setting the actual custom property value
in it's own handler will not cause recursion
However, the 2nd line will result in run-away recursion.
