    you are correct, you can have 16 (i think its actually more now)
layered morphs, but what it doesnt telly ou is that it will only morph
the surfaces between the first and second object, and will then ignore
any surface morphs from the second object onwards
    the way around this is to have to morphs going on, with four
objects.  have one object 1, two object twos, and one object three.
then do the following:-

1/ morph object 1 (image sequence) into the first copy of object 2
(with the white 'flash')

2/ over the space of one frame, remove that object and replace it with
an identical object (object 2 second copy) but it starts with the white
flash and then morphs into the still (object 3).

    if you replace the first morph object with the second one that is
placed and sized identically to the first, then you shouldnt see any
join.
    its a bit of a bodge, lets hope that the surface morph problem gets
sorted out in v4.0... maybe it already has but i have no way of
checking :(
