I need to know how to disable a button
i used :
_root.(buttonname).enabled=false;
for buttons which is on the stage directly but it doesn’t work with buttons that inside a movie clip.
i need ur help
thanks…
Thats because you put _root. which means it will look for the button on the main scene
You need to put the _root.movieclipname.buttonname.enabled = false
And that is instance names not symbol names incase you not sure 
Hope that helps
dear Lunar_4u…
that’s exactly what i’ve tried to do and it still doesn’t work…
have any solution?
thanks for help
if the code is on the button iteself try it like this:
this.myButton.enabled = false;
where ‘myButton’ is the instance name of the button.
Ok here is a fla mate
As you can see when the actionscript in the first frame set to false the button does not work. But change it to true it does. Sorry about the very poor desing and look i just wnated to show u the general idea
Hey everybody thanks alot…
i knew the problem was the name of the movie clip because its name was “7” and it works now when its name is “movie”
that’s a strange thing to make an error :-\ but anyway thank Allah i knew it
