Disable Button On Click?
Hello all.

I have button with the instance name of "a1" in a 2 frame movie clip with the instance name of "toggleMC". It plays a narration sound file.

I also have a button that launches an external SWF (containing video) that has a stopAllSounds; script on it. So if the narration is playing, and the button opening the external SWF is clicked, the narration stops, and the video plays -- all good.

However, if the video is playing (with narration off), "toggleMC" is still active. If the user clicks "toggleMC", the narration plays, the sound from the video stops, and the video keeps playing -- all bad.

How can I disable "toggleMC" or "a1" until the movie is finished playing? I don't want the user to be able to play the narration while the video is playing.

I'm thinking something on the first and last frame of the video beginning with _root.toggleMC.??????? Please help!

Thank you!

postMessage_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,postMessage);

function postMessage(anEvent:MouseEvent):void {
    if (messageInput.text!="") {

        var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.mysite.com/postmessage.php?nocache=" + (Math.random()));

        var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
        variables.usr=x_username;
        variables.msg=messageInput.text;

        request.data=variables;
        request.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;

        sendToURL(request);

How To Disable A Button/action After A Single Click?
So what im trying to do is have a few buttons that when pressed go to and play a movie symbol at keyframes throughout the timeline.

Say there was a picture of a man, and you click button A and the picture zooms in on the mans head, button B zooms in on his hand and button C zooms in on his foot.
I have all the motion tweening setup and all the buttons work via AS3 using gotoandplay, and there is a stop at each step of the way.

Thats all fine, it works perfectly, however the only issue I have is, say you click button A it plays the part that zooms in on his head, but if you click A again buring the tween/playback it goes back and starts playing again.
Basically what im after, is once you click a button, it becomes no longer clickable untill it gets to next step.
I can disable the button symbol itself using the buttonA.enabled=false; but as the script is on a seperate layer, that doesnt do anything at all. It just stops the button from being a button.. the area ist sitll clickable due to the script. And you cant put scripts within the buttons themselves.

The script im using is
menubutton1.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
);

So is there anyway of disabling the gotoand play function between the keyframes. So that if the button is clicked during the tween/playback it doesnt do anything?
I have tried putting a script on the next frame, that doesnt have the gotoandplay portion but that didnt do anything.

(sorry thats a right mess, hope it all makes sense.)

<edit>
I have tried what is mentioned here..http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=766152
But it doesnt seem to be working, perhaps im not putting in the script right or putting it in the wrong spot. As the buttin is still perfectly clickable.

I have keyframe every 15 frames, which has action script in it. to control what the buttons do on that frame.

Onrollout Of Button, Disable Mouse Click
I have a button
on(rollOut)
{
trace("You rollded out");
}
There are many more buttons beside this button. What I want is the moment he rolls out of this button, mouse/cursor should be disabled(although visible) so that he is not able to do anything with other buttons.
There are lots of buttons so I cant use btn.enabled=false
Possible?
Thanks

Disable Current Button And Re-enable All Other Buttons Upon Click. Not Working?
Hello all,
Have a problem that seems easy but for some reason I just can't get it to work.

Code is provided below:
I have thumbnails generated automatically. On thumbnail click I want the current thumbnail to be disabled and all the others to be enabled. I am able to disable them fine using this.enabled=false, but am a bit lost how to get all the other thumbnails to be enabled.

Iit has to be something fairly simple.

Thanks!

Code:
//////////Thumbnail maker///////////////////////////////
function thumbnailer(k) {
loaded_counter = 0;
total_thumbs = _global.total;
var container = thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("th"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
container._visible = false;
container._alpha = 0;
var image = container.createEmptyMovieClip("img", container.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc.pictureValue = k;
target_mc.onRelease = function() {
p = this.pictureValue;
callImage();
clearInterval(_root.container.picture.hold);
this._alpha = 50;
this.enabled = false;
};
target_mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 50;
_root.firstSound.start();
};
target_mc.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
};
loaded_counter++;
counting_txt = loaded_counter;
if (loaded_counter == total_thumbs) {
main_menu.boton1._visible = false;
main_menu.boton2._visible = false;
grid_maker_01();
}
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.th"+k+".img");
}
I created a function that I thought would loop through the thumbnails to enable them all but it doesn't seem to work. Shown below.

Code:
//////////Enable All the Buttons//////////////////////////////////////////
function enableButtons() {
for (var cclip = 0; cclip<=20; cclip++) {
thumbnail_mc.th[cclip].enabled = true;
thumbnail_mc.th[cclip]._alpha = 100;
//trace("thumbnail_mc"+z);
}
}
