I need my buttons to stay put, but, I need to figure out away to make them stop working temporarily. I have layers above themthat become visible, and the buttons underneath these visiblelayers are working, even though they're covered up. Is there a wayto inactivate them, or make the layers above them take precedencewithout changing the button's _visible property?

1) I have a set of menus (movieclips) with 2 states: active and inactive (frame labels). I want to be able to inactivate all the menus but the one clicked. Let's say I have 3 menus and that are called m1,m2,m3.
2) The syntax for m1 would be something like this: (all inactivated and then the one clicked is activated)
on(release){
for(i=1; i<4; ++i){
menu="_parent.m"+i;[code]....
I know just doing this down here it works but I want to automate it...what if we had 30 buttons? The problem i menu.gotoAndStop ("inactive"). Menu gets the proper content in the loop..that is.. _parent.m1 , _parent.m2, _parent.m3.
/
_parent.m1.gotoAndStop("active");
//_parent.m2.gotoAndStop("inactive");
//_parent.m3.gotoAndStop("inactive");
}
I have a button and inside the RollOver-code I have this if-statement:
if (gprat == 1){
spelaupp("guide2");
s.onSoundComplete = function(){[code]....
But since the user can RollOver many times and start the sound several times I want to add a code that deactive the RollOver and activate it after the onSoundComplete.
I would need help to inactivate all other actions on movie clips while the active movie clip is running. So in my flash scen when the user makes a roll over on a movie clip I would like that movie clip to play all frames in that movie clip before the user can roll over on an other movie clip. So the active movie clip don't gets interupted. What actionscript 2.0 should I look for?

I got this tip from another person.
var allowPlay = true;
door_swe_mc.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
bush_mc.onRollOver = rolloverFunction;
[Code].....
But I can't really get it working. It only plays on of the movieclips once and then nothing more happens. It's like it don't get backs to it initial state, or don't release the allowPlay = false state after the movie clip has ended
How do I inactivate parts of my actionscript code when testing different stuff
View 3 RepliesI have a movie which when a button is clicked loads an external movie on top of it (just like a popup I guess). The only prob I am having however is that the buttons on the parent movie are still active and I don't want this to be the case.
View 2 RepliesMy setup has several movieclips in different layers. My problem is that .onRollOver, onRollOut and .onRelease functions are still active for movieclips lying underneath. Is it possible to inactivate these functions and then activate them again when it is needed? Or how do I solve this?

View 3 Repliescan some one fullscreen and how to disable the esc button?
View 2 RepliesIn my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?

if you click on the middle Character a popup window will open at that time i want all other buttons disable so that we cant see the small box on mouseover.[url]...
I have some code similar to the following:
ActionScript Code:
//
//
var box = new Sprite();
box.graphics.lineStyle(10, 0xFF0000);
[code]...
If you click the box, its alpha is set to 1 rather than .1 because of an errant MOUSE_OUT event.What is the right way to fully disable this button when it is clicked?I'd rather not remove the event listeners because I have a bunch of different MOUSE_OVER functions on many different buttons and keeping track of which function is with which button and whether or not the listeners are already assigned seems like way too much work just to properly disable a button.
I have a button that when you roll over it a big window pops up, but then when you click on it, it pops the window up again, now its not a problem but i would like to know if i can disable the click function somehow. so that only the roll over works.
I know you can probably use a movie clip and just tell it with actionscript to load when rolled over, but i don't know how
I have some buttons that play an external swf inside an empty movie clip on the main timeline. I was wondering what Actionscript I need to disable the button when it is pressed. I want the button to still have roll over functionality and everything, but I just want the swf to load once when the button is pressed. Below is the script I am using right now.
on (release) {
//load Movie Behavior
if(this.content == Number(this.content)){
[code].....
I need to know how to disable a button
i used :
_root.(buttonname).enabled=false;
for buttons which is on the stage directly but it doesn't work with buttons that inside a movie clip.
[code]How come I cant disable the button by this function?
View 1 RepliesI have a movie and after the intro the enter button takes me to the next frame (11) and stops. there i have a drop down menu with button instances on each of the drop downs. The drop down is in a movie clip so i am using on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay("s1"); } on the button instances to take me to root level to say frame 12 and stops. Each button instance has a different frame label to go to, s1, s2 etc - the idea being that back at root level i can have the content of each of the buttons on each of the frame labels (s1 at frame 12 , s2 at frame 13 etc) .... this works fine except the drop down menu in each of these new frames retains the action script on the drop down button instances - this is fine for all the buttons that will take me to another content page at root level - what i dont want is the AS to remain on the button for the page i am currently on - cos if you click on it it takes you back through the intro etc to get to its frame label again .
View 3 RepliesI need to disable a button once the user has clicked it! I also need the colour of the button to change once it has been clicked as well (I need it to just grey out - not sure if this can be solved using actionscript??) The only method I could think of of accomplishing this is to put each button in their own UILoader, but I'm hoping there is a simpler method!?
View 2 RepliesI have a site with 908 buttons. Basically a person clicks a button, makes a donation (through paypal) and then that button gets their name displayed when the mouse hovers over it. Essentially the button becomes the property of the person who makes the donation. how to disable each button when someone clicks it. Disabling a button isn't the problem. I need it disabled only when the person has made a valid donation. Each button has a unique instance name (b001 - b908). There must be a way.
View 9 RepliesAs the subject says, how do I disable a button once it's pressed?For example:- Home page loads, disable the Home button- Click on Contact page, disable Contact button, re-enable Home button.I've tried removeEventListener, used button mode true/false and nothing seems to work for me... Unless I'm doing it all wrong...
View 1 RepliesI have a button which I use for sending a message. When the message text is empty, it should not be possible to click the button.
This is all fine and not an issue. The only thing that is bugging me is the fact that I can disable the send button but the image does not get disabled (like I would expect).
Is there a way to do this elegantly because I don't want to provide a sendicon_disabled.png and change it myself (I don't think this should be my job).

I know this is a question that comes up, but there has to be another way that I haven't found, maybe simply because I was search for the right keywords.Common enough question, I'm sure; I have a flash program, published in a projector and I don't want the menu to pop-up when the mouse is right clicked.Stage.showMenu = false; and fscommand("showmenu",false)have both been tried, disables most of the menu, but the drop down menu for global settings still appears.There has to be a way to set it so the right mouse button is off entirely when in the program. I've seen script that recognizes each of the different mouse buttons to assign a different response, I've seen a script designed to turn off the mouse so it can't be clicked during a tween transition; there has to be a way to program an event, or something, that will recognize the button and ignore all input from it. What is it?
