Hi folks… I need to make a modal window in flash. Let me make it clear… I have a country map. on clicking a location, a movie pops up. the movie will have a close button to close it and return to the main movie. I want the main movie to be inactive and the popup movie to be active, unless i close it… How do i do it? can anyone help me on this? # Thanks :rambo: ---

um…easy way would be putting an inactive button on top of all the stuff in the bg and then going button.useMouseCurser=false…that should make everything under the button sorta disabled…so u can’t click on it anymore…hehe its probably one of the easiest ways…🙂 ---
