How to active my buttons when mc is opacity 100

[FrozenGecko]

I have buttons inside/on window01/mc that are still active/clickable when the opacity is 0, I basically have a area on my website that if you click it opens the window corresponding to the button. how do I stop this? I only want the buttons to work when window01 is opacity 100. I'm not a pro at AS so please if you reply, walk me through it a bit or edit my code.

just click in the blank black area below the nav bar and the window will appear. The normal way to get to this window is click products than the buttons.

import gs.TweenLite; 


btn06.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f2);
function f2(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.jmoneyaudio.com/"), "_self");

}
//first we're making sure none of your content windows are
//being displayed when the movie launches
window01.alpha=window02.alpha=window03.alpha=window04.alpha=window05.alpha=pwindow01.alpha=pwindow02.alpha=pwindow03.alpha=0;

//this doesn't change: just listening for mouse clicks
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick,false,0,true);

//this changes a bit. Rather than dealing with the visible
//property of the windows, we'll be tweening alpha properties
var isTweening:Boolean=false;
function resetBool():void {
    isTweening=false;
}
function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if (!isTweening) {
        isTweening=true;
        switch (e.target) {
            case btn01 :
                closeWindows();
                TweenLite.to(window01,1,{alpha:1,overwrite:false,onComplete:resetBool});//this is a call to
                //the TweenLite class you set up earlier: The first parameter is the
                //display object you're targeting (window0x), the second param is
                //length of time the tween will take to complete in whole seconds
                //(1 second), then all properties for the display object are listed in
                //the third param within {}, in this case we're changing the alpha
                //from 0 to 1 and we don't want this tween call to interrupt/overwrite
                //any previous tween calls
                break;
            case btn02 :
                closeWindows();
                TweenLite.to(window02,1,{alpha:1,overwrite:false,onComplete:resetBool});
                break;
            case btn03 :
                closeWindows();
                TweenLite.to(window03,1,{alpha:1,overwrite:false,onComplete:resetBool});
                break;
            case btn04 :
                closeWindows();
                TweenLite.to(window04,1,{alpha:1,overwrite:false,onComplete:resetBool});
                break;
			case btn05 :
                closeWindows();
                TweenLite.to(window05,1,{alpha:1,overwrite:false,onComplete:resetBool});
                break;

            default :
                return;
        }

} 

function closeWindows():void{

button.enabled = false;

[FrozenGecko]

could you elaborate? I said im not a AS pro

[FrozenGecko]

-bump- fixed some wording that may have been alittle confusing

[neznein9]

You can set the "enabled" flag to false as cresquin pointed out (that should toggle at the same time you turn alpha on and off) - or you could use visibility rather than alpha (if you're doing it with TweenLite switch to autoAlpha to handle that automatically).

Or you could brute-force it and just do a logic check: if(btn01.alpha == 1){ whatever }

[FrozenGecko]

Option 1 sounds good, but like i said "I AM A FING NOOB" could you post some examples of the code i should use or what i should edit in my current code x.X

[FrozenGecko]

would you recommend me changing to frameLabels? and if so, how would I tween with that method?

[XenElement]

Do what cresquin and neznein9 said. Something like;

if(myButton.alpha<100){
myButton.enabled=false;
}

Or whatever. Use the if statement to test if the button is solid, and then enable or disable the button.

[FrozenGecko]

thank you very much for actually posting a piece of code =p i'll give to a go asap

[FrozenGecko]

if(myButton.alpha<100){
myButton.enabled=false;
}

didn't work

[FrozenGecko]

is there any way to use that type of code, but instead just tell it to stop listening for its mouse clicks until its opacity is above x number

[XenElement]

Sorry, my code wasn't meant as something usable, it was hypothetical.

Let me see if I can find something more copy/paste-able.

Maybe if you could explain/screenshot the problem better, I didn't really see what the problem was with your gallery/site.
