Thanks for the feedback. Including dynapi.api.DynLayer
will not include the mouse events. I'm also of the
opinion that it's the link that's causing the problem.
I would suggest that we move it outside of the layer. 

To see if your version of ns4 is really having a
problem with links or mouse events please run the
dynapi.api.mouseevent.html example. It it crashes with
this example then will have to trace the problem.
