Movie Clip Within Button - How Do You Disable Down State Of Button?
Hi - I have created a menu down the side of my flash site which is in the form of a button so that when the user rolls over the button, it brings up the menu. Within, this button is just text - the names for each page the user can select to go to (text is within movie clips so I can add actionscript to them).
However, I want to add on (press) {gotoAndPlay("home",1); } etc for each movie clip within this button but when i test the site, this code does not work as the buttons down state has priority over the movie clips within it.
Is there some actionscript code which could disable the down state of a button? (as i only need the button as a rollover anyway and i need the movie clips within the button to have priority in terms of actionscript for linkage etc)
Thanks
[AS1 BUTTON] Disable Part Of Button Code
Hi Shockers,
I read on a few articles on here about disabling a button but with my case I have a small problem of still needing the rollOver function to work. So my question is : Is it possible to disable the just the on Release and not the rollOver or the rollOut?.
Thinking about it I dont think you can but you never know what you guys come out with...
And I also have the problem of getting the button to be enabled after another button is clicked.
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
//Take the bar up first
_root.barTo(1);
//Takes it to the right page
_parent.guestInfo.gotoAndStop("guestlist");
//Take away the sign name
_root.choiceBack();
//Put the 3D logo in to middle to show loading
_root.loaderLoad();
//load Movie Behavior
_root.guestInfo.post.loadMovie("guestlist.swf");
}
on (rollOver) {
_parent.slider.slider2.name.text = "GUESTLIST";
_parent.jumpTo(8);
}
on (rollOut) {
_parent.jumpTo(2);
}

How would I go about disabling a button after it is pressed, but having it become active once the user clicks another button?
i.e. I click button 1. While I am browsing the contents of '1' I want to disable the '1' button. Then I click button 2 and when I am in '2', button 1 is active again where I cannot press button 2.
hope that makes enough sense, thanks!

another question here since FK search seems to be down...
How do I disable a button if an external SWF is loaded on top of it?
Here's the scenario: I've got a button sitting on a layer on my main time line. When clicked, this button loads an external SWF onto another layer above the button. When loaded, the external SWF sits on top of the button, hiding it.
This external SWF has a form that needs to be filled out. When a user enters information in the first field and tabs to the second field, an outline of the button sitting on the layer underneath the loaded SWF appears. What makes it wierd, is that the outline that shows is a yellow border 3 or 4 pixels thick...something that isn't used in the button.
I don;t know if disabling the button would solve this problem or if there's a better way...other than moving the button or external SWF position.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Disable A Button?
I'm sure it's been asked before but I've done a search and not found the answer. Here goes
I have several buttons on my site that when pressed, load an external SWF into an empty movie clip. I need to disable the current button so it doesn't keep loading the swf. and only the other buttons will be active. so the first time I press contact, it works but If I press it again, it doesn't. They obviously need to be made active again once one of the other buttons are pressed.
I have this actionscript on my home button for example:
on (release) {
loadMovie("spreehome.swf", "empty");
}
I would need to actually see whatever actionscript you supply and how it works with the above code or I would only be writing back to ask. (I'm only just starting out with actionscript and find it a difficult concept at the moment)
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Disable Every Button?
I have an option in my flash movie that opens a settings panel. The panel opens on the highest layer, and then one layer behind that I dynamically create an 800x600 black rectangle that I fade in to effectively fade out the rest of the movie while this panel is open. When the panel is open all the buttons behind it are still clickable. There are a lot of them, so I'd rather not have to disable each one individually if possible. Any suggestions on how to make them unclickable when the settings window is open.
Thanks!
