Ummmmm,Jan....all your parameter controls will still be on the menu accessed by clicking the bar on the far right of the screen. They will not appear on the animation palette per se. You CAN use the animation palette to choose a particular figure/element/prop for a particular keyframe, but you will probably have to move the palette control box down to access the parameter dial menu....I could be wrong, but I do not ever recall direct access to parameter controls in the manner you describe...
