Few questions AS2 functionality

Hello all, here are my questions:

  1. I have a menu which is set up as follows:
    -Category/subject Btn
    the subject button is actually a movie clip as is the rest of the menu which is loaded into another movie and used with in the other movie. the menu is loaded in as a swf file “menu.swf” what I need to happen is once the end user clicks the movie clip which loades all the data from an XML, I need to disable the menu.swf’s interaction and reaction to the mouse, basically I need to disable the “menu.swf” until the user closes the loaded data out… and returns back to it. I’ve tried disabling, placing a stage sized clear movie over it… pretty much everything I can think of… to no avail.

  2. How can I creat a replay button for a flash video component? basically, once the clip is finished playing I want a replay button to appear… kinda like what is seen on youtube when you finish watching a video.
