Are you saying this is good, or bad? Flash can make an animation unwind

slowly or stop abruptly on rollover.

Not necessarily.  You can make 1 un-animate whenever you want it to. Or not

at all.

What do you mean by "hard wired?"  What do you mean by "Making this '1

un-animation' in more than one place"?  What's not good?

I don't understand what you're talking about -- what is the effect you

want, and what effect do you want to avoid? I don't see anything on your

page that cannot be replicated in Flash.  Please explain what you want it

to do.  I may not have time to build it, but I'll tell you how it works in

Flash.
