Okay let me see if I can explain this correctly. I have a button that starts a animation by jumping to the frame. Now I want to disable that button once it is pressed so the user cannot press the button in the middle of the animation and start it over. Any ideas??? Actionscript or anything else.

Thanks in advance

Put the button on its own layer. Enter a blank frame on this layer when the animation starts and the button shouldn’t appear anymore.
