Ok I have “buttons” that are actually advanced movieclip rollovers…

My question is this -

```
         After the user has clicked on a "button" ... How do I disable the "buttons" when a external .swf is being loaded into a container so that the user can't click on them while that animation is playing out? 

```

Thanks in advance.
