Yep, that's exactly what happened, I just posted an upload link between the image tags, doh, no PNG at the end.
And phew, after a week of different failed workarounds, I *finally* got my code working so clicking the souls will animate an "explosion death" loop in the background, then vanish, while leaving the cursor free to click more souls.
Now to slog through copy/pasting and adjusting the code for all the souls for each level!

Not as bad a chore when you know it actually finally works!
