i am facing a problem now that all the buttons are still working when the
external movie loads on top.
I want all the menu buttons to be disabled when the external movie loads and
there is a CLOSE Button in the external movie. i tried to search for how to
disable the buttons. i found some, but couldnt understand what to do.

So any help will be appreciated here plz.

Thnx in advance.

Regards

you can use them just about anywhere that suits you. but it's best to attach
code to a frame. in your case, you should attach it to a frame that contains
your buttons and you should execute the code when you want to disable your
buttons.

for example, when you execute your loadMovie() (or loadMovieNum() or
loadClip() statement), you can execute:

btn1.enabled=false;
btn2.enabled=false; // etc

hi,
i did tried to put in the button code of my previous issue

on (release) {
// this.swapDepths(1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc1",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.target_mc1._x = -600;
_root.target_mc1._y = -150;
_root.target_mc1.loadMovie("1.swf");
security.enabled=false;
}

i can't add any more buttons to disable them
like after
security btn
if i add
development btn
only
security btn
will be disabled... all other btnz will be working.
i want like, on click all the buttons gets disabled and in the external movie
clip, when i click the CLOSE btn, all buttons gets enabled.

i found the following code.

for (var name in this) {
if (typeof (this[name]) == "movieclip") {
for (var name1 in this[name]) {
if (typeof (this[name][name1]) == "object") {
this[name][name1].enabled = false;
}
}
}
}

but i don't know the right place to add this code. though it works fine.
disables all the btns with the name. again i wud like to put the structure of
my file:

1. main container of left and rite menu, single layer

2. 2 layers. down layer -> right menu. up layer -> left.

Now if we enter in right menu mc....

3. animation of right menu

4. in animation mc there are 4 buttons animation tweening

5. button container with actionScript on button

6. Button

any ideas plz?
