Howdy I have 2 questions
1. When loading a swf over onother the buttons on the swf underneath will make the curser turn into a hand and make the buttons active even if they aren´t visible.
Is there any easy way to make them inactive when another another swf is loaded in a higher level.
2. On this page [http://www.jensofsweden.com/fp6.php?run=true](http://www.jensofsweden.com/fp6.php?run=true)
When changing pages the "active page is still visible when the preloader "closes the page by covering it. Then the new page is loaded. How do I fix this?
I´ve seen this done here at kirupa but can´t find it now (sorry).

myButton1.enabled=false;
that line disables buttons… with the myButton1 being the instance name of a button… u might be able to use that somehow 🙂

I´ll have to clarify the second question because I was a bit wage (sorry ´bout that).
The tween on the site that the link leads to seems to be shape tween but how do they use alfa on that tween. You can´t use alfa on shap tween can you? The tween it self is no problem creating with shapetweening but the alfa, the alfa…
???
Thx Mooler
