I cant seem to get my buttons to disable/enable when i use button components  
What I need is to disable all the buttons for a certain number of frames …  
I tried onPress to disable and then on say frame 20 of a loaded swf i set the desired buttons to enable … right ? I thought so but no matter what I do it does not work … I checked my paths and all seem correct … and I cant seem the disable these buttons whatsoever not even from the main timeline … what am I doing wrong? so is there something special about these components that make me not use the enable var. ?  
Please any help would be great !!!
