Loaded Movie Problems

Hi,

I have a big problem, I have a movie which image "2" is on. When I click a button I load movie "1" onto the stage. My problem is that the "2" image is a button (which loads another movie) and once I load the "1" image the actions on the "2" image are active. How can I turn off the actions of this button once movies are loaded on top of it?

Thanks in Advance!

hi xbaggypants,

Welcome to FlasKit.

If you want to disable the button after clicking it, you can use the enabled (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00001988.html) property.

my_btn.onRelease = function()
{
this.enabled = false;
// load the external file
// do what you want...
};

I just tried it, does this work if the movies are on different levels?

Disabling a button using the enabled property works as long as the button exists at the time you trigger the code and you specify the correct target path (http://www.nunomira.com/tutorials/understanding_target_paths.php).
