I think the for-next loop is probably keeping your UI from getting a
chance to update. You may want to take a look at Threads for a way to
let your UI update while you are doing other work. As for
ChasingArrows themselves, basically they will spin when they are
visible. You just show them when you want them to spin and hide them
when you are done.
