I need to build crawls in XPression and would like some guidance on the best way to structure it. I want to create four different crawl looks that will play back-to-back in sequence and loop continuously. I plan to control the crawl through ROS Talk using a single custom control that brings the station bug and the crawl on air at the same time. As well, takes both off air when pressed again. When reactivated, the crawl should restart from the beginning of the sequence and  if one of the crawl looks has no data, it should be skipped, allowing the remaining looks to continue running smoothly without interruption.

Hello, I think I would first do the crawls independently, according to their graphics, colors, cues and speed. Then I would turn each crawll into an archive material. Then in a single scene I would put in 4 quad the 4 crawll... with that you would get them in and out together in the same scene.

Creating crawls is not an issue. You can use events to wht you to show and hide. For that, use external data input through xml, JSON, Excel, OADB, SQL.

Rest for controlling in/out Dashboard is ready to be there. 

API is a much stronger version than what you want, and how to control it.
