Depth problem (I think)

programming flash
1

Hi there,

Any help on this would be much appreicated…

My current movie is made up of two scenes 1 (preloader) & 2 (main timeline). I’m loading external swfs into the main timeline within a movie called “content”. This is done with the _root.content.loadMovie script.

The main timeline is basically the navigation and the external movies get loaded over the top of the scene. Now the loading and unloading is fine, it just when the external movies are loaded into the scene the hand cursor still picks up the button hit area of my navigation underneath the movie…

anyone following? I’ve tried playing around with depths and levels etc… but can’t make any sense of it. What can i do?

Individual movieclips have their own depth order…different from the depth order of your main timeline…and your button is on the main timeline…the external swf you are loading is loaded into the “content” movieclip and not on the root and as such whatever is in root is not replaced by whatever u have loaded onto your"content" MC …

the best option i can suggest in your case will be disabling the button using …
mybutton.enabled = false;
