So, is the problem solved? Your posts are ambiguous. You refer to your code & flickering, but there should be no flickering with the code I posted. As for the "long story of several errors", you originally mentioned results such as "Error! Unknown document property name.", but those have nothing to do with the code I posted and instead reflect erroneous field constructions in your document.
