I want to know how to disable button, or movie clip.  
I mean, I don’t want to see that hand when you roll over the mouse.  
You know what I mean?

I need to do this because I want to load another flash movie onto the main movie. Then, I don’t want to click on the buttons on the bottom layer.

thank you in advance

You can use something like this:[AS]on (release) {  
this.enabled = false;  
}  
[/AS]

Apply that to the button or movieclip you’re using.
