Your buttons should tell the LayerHandler to turn a layer on or off.
It will fire events to all other LayerListeners so they can accurately
display whether a layer is visible or not. If you are using toggle
buttons, they should be LayerListeners to the LayerHandler, and set
whether they are activated based on LayerEvents from the LayerHandler
(instead of toggling their states themselves).

That is true animation. :)

The com.bbn.openmap.graphicLoader.scenario.ScenarioGraphicLoader does
something like this. But yes, you'd do exactly what you think you
should do.
