Trigger Disk

I'd really like to release this, but there are some issues that I can't seem to resolve:
1) The "ind_" layers in the OPEN state work fine, until you make the skin return to the CLOSED state - they stay on. I would expect this behavior, and I have in fact tried to change the visibility of those layers through keywords in the animation that opens and closes the case. Trouble is, if I set them to HIDE, then they no longer function as expected; and then setting them to SHOW makes them appear in an always-on state.
2) I have another version of the skin with VU meters in the CLOSED state only. I tried using the skinning trick to stop animated layers (see GBX skin): while that trick does a good job, it's unpredictable exactly where a VU meter animation will will stop. In my case, I want it to be hidden completely.
3) The dark background in the OPEN state behaves like a moveable layer, even though it's labeled as passthrough.
Any help on these little glitches is greatly appreciated!
