Rails - Jun 2006 - Queue 3 or more RJS actions

My .rjs file
page.visual_effect :BlindUp, "people",  :queue =>
''front''     #first action
page.replace_html  "people", :partial =>
''person/person_compressed'',
:collection => @search_results , :queue => ''end''  
#second action, after
first is done
page.visual_effect :BlindDown, "people" , :queue =>
''end''  #third
action, after second is done

I want it to BlindUp, replace the div, and then BlindDown the div with 
its new content.  Instead it BlindsUp first and then BlindsDown/replaces 
the div pretty much at the same time.   I need three things to happen in 
order and ''front'' and ''end'' only let me set
the order for two things.

My reference so far has been 
http://blog.railsdevelopment.com/pages/effect/queue/
It talks about using :scope with :queue.  I tried changing all the 
:queue in the above example to :queue => {:scope=>
''myscope''}
hoping that this would set up my queue but that did not appear to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Matthew,

You can pass the replace html to beforeStart (of blinddown), this will 
perform the visual effect before the effect is executed.

What is the syntax I would use for beforeStart?
If I do

page.visual_effect :BlindDown, "people" , :queue =>
''end'', {:beforeStart
=> page.replace_html "people",
:partial=>''mypartial''}

then I get parse errors on the rjs file. 
http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/5/3/how_to_use_ajax_callbacks_in_rjs_templates
shows using Javascript in beforeStart.  Can I use the rjs methods like 
replace_html too?

Thank you,
