why don’t you disable the buttons when the new swf is loaded? Something like this:

```auto
on (release){
_root.myButton.enabled = false;
}

```

Well if you’re loading the external movie when a button is clicked then you would apply that to the button.

If you want to disable multiple buttons all at once then I suggest setting up a function, place this on the first frame of your main timeline:

```auto
function disEnable(isIt) {
	_root.mybutton1.enabled = isIt;
	_root.mybutton2.enabled = isIt;
	_root.mybutton3.enabled = isIt;
	_root.mybutton4..enabled = isIt;
}

```

Next apply this to your button:

```auto
on (release) {
	_root.disEnable(false);
}

```

That will disable all of those buttons listed in the fuction above. To renable it you would do the opposite.
