Hi guys, Attached is a navigation I’m working on… Basically the viewer clicks onto the button; the navigation moves a certain spot and then a swf is loaded. My problem is… If this click onto lets say the home button, I don’t want the home button active until they click on another button and so on. I think it’s something like myBtn.\_visible = “false” … but I don’t want the word to disapear, just the function of the button… Also where would I place this code??? as it will need I guess to be continually checking if the buttons a clicked on… I’m not very good at script… just trying If anyone can help, it would be fantastic
