Hi everyone,  
does anyone know how, or know a way you could disable / enable an entire flash movie and its children, based on certain events. Like say you have a custom event manager that dispatches an event to notify the movie if any content is being loaded somewhere, in order to disable the entire flash movie during loading time ?

any info would be cool.

cheers
