I'm not sure precisely what was done, but I do know that the use of Java in

LiveConnect does require a bit of breathing space between subsequent

commands... it's definitely possible to fatally pingpong if two objects in

the page rapidly pass messages back and forth. Usually just giving a bit of

breathing space in two-way communication is more Java-friendly that having

one object call another object which calls back into the original object.


I'm not sure whether this is relevant to the work done in this project, though.
