I have a tab with a rollover effect. The top button calls the tab (called panel) to rolllout which contains another button. I want the original top button to be disabled until the panel has finished playing “out” when the user rolls out of the panel.

Here’s my failing code!

var startTracking = function() {

panel.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if(!hitTest(\_xmouse,\_ymouse,true)) {  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
this.gotoAndPlay(“out”);  
}  
}  
}

topBtn.onRollOver = function() {  
panel.gotoAndPlay(2);  
startTracking();  
}  
\*\*if (this.panel = (1))  
topBtn.enable = true;  
\*\*  
i think the code needs to say “if panel has not finished playing ‘out’, disable topBtn”  
If you can point out my mistake it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
