If those dynamic elements aren't coming from the server, then you don't need to use the separate task node.
You have some options, you can either
* Have all the elements pre-defined in your XML and just alter their visibility (item.visible = true /  item.visible = false) when you need to show / hide them.
* Create them ad hoc (for example,

m.newItem = createObject("RoSGNode", "Label")
xVal = 720
yVal = 500
m.newItem.translation = [xVal,yVal]


You can also combine these things with stuff coming from a task node to change titles or uri's of labels and poster.
