Hey thanks much I found the new one in the links below.. The new one works!
Its pretty zippy too.. (20 second loads so you have a sense of it on at 13
layer set ) Its probably a bit stupid to hide this all in layers when the
basic objects are really the same..   (just the attributes/values are
changing for each "layer"). It may be better to move to sorting out how the
python scripting works and hide the data in a file somewhere and use the
python script to modify the attributes / layers on each click. But
regardless this does work for now!

-regards,
