Two RJS visual effects will happen at the same time?

I was going to change the background of a div from white to red and then from red back to white, so this is used in an RJS file:

  page[:vote_score].visual_effect :highlight, :startcolor => '#ffffff', :endcolor => '#ffcccc'

  page[:vote_score].visual_effect :highlight, :startcolor => '#ffcccc', :endcolor => '#ffffff'

But looks like they happen at the same time, instead of one after another. Is there a way to make it happen one after another?

the Javascript sent to the browser is:

try { $("vote_score").update("Score 63"); $("vote_score").visualEffect("highlight", {"endcolor":"#ffcccc","startcolor":"#ffffff"}); $("vote_score").visualEffect("highlight", {"endcolor":"#ffffff","startcolor":"#ffcccc"}); } catch (e) { alert('RJS error:\n\n' + e.toString()); alert('$(\"vote_score\").update(\"Score 63\");\n$(\"vote_score\").visualEffect(\"highlight\", {\"restorecolor\":\"#ffcccc\",\"endcolor\":\"#ffcccc\",\"startcolor\":\"#ffffff\"});\n$(\"vote_score\").visualEffect(\"highlight\", {\"endcolor\":\"#ffffff\",\"startcolor\":\"#ffcccc\"});'); throw e }

The visual_effect takes a queue option, read something like http://script.aculo.us/docs/EffectQueues.html to understand how effect queues work etc.

I found Ajax on Rails, from O'Reilly, to be an excellent book, if it's any help.
