disabling buttons.....help!

[#1tsotsi]

Hi guys
I am tryin to disable 4 buttons. The thing is that all the buttons, when clicked, activate the same movie(a popUp) so I want to have them disabled while the popUP is active, and then active again when the movie is closed.
I am tryin to avoid the long way of writing code in every button.
btw...i am using MX. any help would b appreciated

quick and dirty way would be to put the 4 buttons in a mc then set its visibilty to false when one is clicked to launch pop-up.
then when pop up is closed send a visibilty true to the button mc.
setting visibility to false for the mc disables the buttons.
