Reveal an element - Click to make it go?

Hi, here's what I'd like to be able to do...

On my homepage.
After a few seconds a message reveals itself.
It can slide in from top.
THIS I CAN DO: Animation Reveal. Brilliant.

Here's the trick
I'd ideally like a [X] box at the end of the line/element
So that once you have read it, you can make it go away.

Any ideas?
In Xara, there are animation to reveal but nothing to 'return/go-away/leave'?

Many thanks.

How is the message being revealed and is it not possible to add a button to it?

How about something like the attached?

The message slides in, then after an appropriate time the white rectangle fades in which appears to make the message fade out.

Brilliant, perfect, how on earth did you did it?
I can get a rectangle to fade in, but what's the trick to getting it to fade out?
Many thanks.

Gary is allowed to do magic as he is Emeritus.

Us lesser mortals have to slog away with Web Animation on a dropdown message box and a slower fade-in cover that then hides it.

Drop a colour, other than white onto your page background to see the box that's doing the hiding.
Move that down to show the message.

Now open the Web Animation panel and click on these two objcts and ta-da all is revealed.

The fade to white is an animation that has been delayed a few seconds. :)

Is this only for XWD 11 ? Does nothing on XWD 10?

Yep, sorry, the web animation feature is new to the 11 versions (WD and DPX PRO). Along with stretchy and sticky feature.
