I’m trying to make a script that will disable leftarrow till the animation is finished. I made a crude attempt myself but it doesn’t work :/.

Any ideas?

[AS]import mx.transitions.Tween;  
allowChanging = true;  
if (allowChanging == true) {  
this.leftarrow.onRelease = function() {  
var myTween:Tween = new mx.transitions.Tween(\_root.images.imagemove, “\_x”, mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, \_root.images.imagemove.\_x, \_root.images.imagemove.\_x+700, 10);  
allowChanging = false;  
myTween.onMotionFinished = function() {  
allowChanging = true;  
};  
};  
}  
[/AS]

thanks!
