[F8] catch all AS2 code for buttons enabled?

[MasterofNothing]

I searched around and didn't find much to help me, but I have a (hopefully) quick question.

In my application I have many many MCs acting as buttons, and they are all over, some are inside other MCs some are not. Most are set to _alpha = 0; and when parent MC is clicked on they tween to _alpha = 100;

Everything works perfect and I love it all so much, HOWEVER, because the buttons are _alpha they are still clickable where they rest.

I was wondering if there was a catch all code I could use to disable them unless alpha was 100. Something I could put in the AS file once for all buttons, perhaps?

I was thinking along the lines of:

if (_alpha <=99){
    buttons.enabled = false;
}
else if (_alpha == 100){
   buttons.enabled = true;
}

but I can't think of a way to add that once and have it control ALL buttons that _alpha is less than 100.

Is there a way?

Thanks,

instead of making _alpha=0, make it _visible=false

Thanks for that, I did try that a few times, I guess I just can't get the as file code right. I will keep trying though!
