okay, i realize there have been similar threads about this before, so please dont just post one of those links. what i am trying to ask is a little but different. I know how to enable and disbale buttons…
this is the site im working on
http://www.thehubstudents.com/v3/
its 100% dynamic, menus, buttons, submenus, content windows, etc. client can control everything.
so, ive built it so that new windows open up in new layers on top of each other to reveal the content the user chose. Some of these windows have buttons on them, and when you open a new window you can still click on buttons in lower levels. The number of buttons that would be on a single “window” is dynamic, the user has the ability to add buttons and remove them. So the instance names are dynamic, so its not as easy as just telling each button to be disabled, plus i would also have to know which windows are open (which i do, they are stored in an array)…but its just very complex. Is there anyway you guys might know of that would disable all buttons within a movieclip or something? So i could just kill all buttons on the windows that do not have focus? and re-enable buttons on windows that have focus?
this would be a monster function to write if not…eugghg…
any ideas?
