Basic question -- I am missing the "big picture" ...

Dear OpenMappers,

I am still on the steep end of the OM learning curve and I think I missing
out on the "bigger picture".

I have built a few layers that I have been able to display my objects on,
however, I did this by instantiating the objects, which are displayed by
association with a OMGraphic that has the same (lat,lon) as the App objs.
The mistake that I believe I have done, is to instantiate these objects and
OMGraphics by calling a "buildObjs()" method from inside the constructor for
the layer. The layer constructor is invoked from the properties file call
(i.e. like in the OpenMap app). Should I be instantiating these objects
from a mapHandler instead?

The reason I am asking is that I don't know how to update the positions of
those objects on the layer, since I do not have an instantiated object that
represents my layer class. I guess my basic question is:

How do I update the position values of objects that are displayed on a
layer? ( are there any simple examples of updating the positions of objects
that are displayed on a layer out there?)

Thanks for your help,

ed
