Checking the location of a moving object

[Alex Tweedly]

No, it's not completely blocking. The problem is that the very first 
call to checkit is BEFORE the move starts, so the movingcontrols is 
empty, so the send doesn't happen. Should work (i.e. it does in my 
simple stack :-)  if you change it to (the equivalent of)

Note that you need the "without waiting" in order that the first checkit 
gets done immediately, rather than after the move.
