Hi,

I’m working on a web site [http://nchomeloan.net/muse.htm](http://nchomeloan.net/muse.htm) and I need to have the buttons not enabled when the mc containing the button is not playing. I have completed several tutorials but can not get this to work. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. This is the code I am trying to use:  
directionsmuse\_mc.directions\_btn.enabled=false;

This is the error I get:  
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=buttons, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler  
restaurant\_btn.enabled=false;

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
