First off it flickers - that's a fail.

Secondly I can't access the links without the mouse - so that's a fail.

Ask yourself why you need to have it scroll in the first place?

Accessibility shouldn't be squeezed into a design as an afterthought
it should be there from the start.

(you need it to scroll to fit within the fixed height design?)



This (and the first part it links to should be useful):

and so should this:
