Here is my current code = snippet.

if (thisEffectName = =3D=3D fxOld) { // found an old effect
   = = = thisEffect.remove();
   = = currentEffects.addProperty(fxNew);
   = = = }

Like I said, it works great other than = it adds the new effect to the bottom of the = group.

Any = ideas?

Thanks.

Phil
