Calling -display fixed the problem, works perfectly. Thanks!

I don't want to permanently layer back my views because they cause various glitches (no subpixel antialiasing, resize issues when backed with a CATiledLayer, etc.) To get around this, I want to temporarily layer back my view, run the animation, and then disable layer backing after the animation completes. This is my code thus far:

The problem seems to be the fact that I'm calling -setWantsLayer: immediately before the animation begins. If I call this method in -awakeForNib, the animation will run. I'm thinking that this might be some sort of runloop issue, but I have no idea what I can do to work around this. I've tried moving my -setWantsLayer: call to various places within the animation method but this has no effect.
