hi murali, depending on your button behaviour imaging lingo might be the best choice, but other than that i think the easiest way to have such a scrollable control panel with buttons would be to implement it as a LDM (control.dir imported to main.dir as "link to external file", with option "Enable Scripts" checked). for image-size reduction enable JPEG-compression in the publish settings dialog, and then reduce the jpeg-quality to a lower amount (eg 50).
