After completing the external swf transition tutorial the site is working great except for the fact I can’t figure out how to lock the movie clip buttons in their down states until another button is pressed.  
Here is the code I have on my first button:-

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
if(rewind == true){  
prevFrame();  
}  
}

this.onRollOver = function(){  
rewind = false;  
play();  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
rewind = true;  
}

this.onRelease = function(){  
if (\_root.currMovie == undefined) {  
\_root.currMovie = “about”;  
\_root.container.loadMovie(“about.swf”);  
} else if (\_root.currMovie != “about”) {  
if (\_root.container.\_currentframe \>= \_root.container.midframe) {  
\_root.currMovie = “about”;  
\_root.container.play();

```
    }
}

```

}

Any help appreciated!
