Upon hoping to the frame with the drawing board actionscript on it, i’ve successfully created the erase button to remove all the drawings made, but then i also have a ‘HOME’ button that takes me back home. BUT the drawing board actionscript is still active even on the HOME frame. +On the home button i’ve added in the clear(); function to also remove the drawing.  
Either way this still does not remove the drawing board actionscript.

How do I completely disable the drawing board actionscript upon clicking home? but still be able to reactivate it when I’m on the frame again.

\*\*Drawing board Actionscript used from [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)  
\*\*  
// 1. SETTING THINGS  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“line”,1);  
// 2. EVENTS IN \_ROOT:  
\_root.onMouseDown = function(){  
line.moveTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
line.lineStyle(2,0x000000,100);  
this.onMouseMove = function(){  
line.lineTo(\_xmouse,\_ymouse);  
updateAfterEvent();  
}  
}  
\_root.onMouseUp = function(){  
this.onMouseMove = null;  
}

\*\*Erase Button actionscript  
\*\*// 3. BUTTON “ERASE”:  
// --------------------  
buttonErase.onPress = function(){  
\_root.line.clear();  
}

Thankyou 🙂
