"I'm thinking of something like a layer that adds 1 to the value every time the timeline starts, but is not reset.  Would that work? "

"I knew it must be easy!  Thanks a bunch."

"That is a very elegant solution, Rebecca.  Thank you!  (nice flowers, too.) "

"I figured it out.  What I had to do was load the down graphic into the down state.  Works now!"

"I'm not seeing the down state. It's just jumping immediately. I don't think I tried holding it down, tho. So I'll look at that. "
