I build a lot of interactive timelines for courtroom presentations, with clickable entries that bring up enlarged callouts of each entry. I’ve been using a scrolling script from right here on Kirupa that has worked well, but I tried a new solution that involved simply making the timeline draggable.  
The clickable entries worked fine when I used the scrolling script. But much to my chagrin, I found that when the timeline is draggable, the buttons inside it no longer work, I guess because the draggable code overrides the buttons inside it. There’s got to be a way around this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
