Detailed description

This call animates between two objects, storing the result in a third Dest position. It performs the operation in the background over a specified time.

The closely related Morph call performs this operation allowing for any point on the scale to be stepped to, but it must be called manually by the user to perform an animation.

Animations can be stopped using StopAnimate
