Hi,
I'm trying to create a DX object that is animated and can contain shortcut links within the animation. Is this possible to do? I am designing my first original dxtheme and this is now the only problem that I face to complete my theme! Even if this needs a Java script that would be cool except I would need someone to write that java for me, as I am stupid to java.
The animation is of a scroll "unrolling" on mouseover and it "re-rolls" on mouse away.....The links/shortcuts is what I would like to put on top of the "unrolled scroll"...so far I have tried to create an object controller "popup" layer to add the 5 or so links/shortcuts with the "opened scroll" image. Which means that you have to click your mouse twice instead of once to get to whatever the link/shortcut represents. I am trying to achieve a single click instead of double click since I have the "rolling" effect with the animation.
<<--------->> this is a rough "rolled" example LOL

| (Link)| animation is part of ALL the imagery ( the links don't need to be animated.)

It is a layer. The problem is that I want no shortcuts showing when the scroll is closed and cannot add any shorcut to the image(s) without them appearing( being always present) before I want them to...ergo..when the animated scroll starts animating on mouseover it will be closed and the animation opens it....the mouse away animates the scroll back up (closed scroll). The entire object(layer) is one set of frames animated. So I need to put working links in the "opened" picture( 1 Frame) of the scroll so that it can be one click instead of a "popup layer" with working shortcuts on it.
Thank you in advance....you may email me { [email protected] } if you would like to see this design issue so that maybe you could help me get what i'm trying to achieve.

Not even gonna hint I can help.
But I've been waiting for somebody to post something and damn I'm getting curious about the scroll.
Can I see it? Email - you'll get a "ELink thinks you may be spam" message - but don't worry about it.
