Ignore second mouse click if movie started

1

I have a button that when It’s clicked it starts a movie within the maintime playing, if it is clicked a second time, it restarts that movie from the beginning, is there a way to detect if a movie is already running and if so, ignore the mouse click?

on(release) {
this._enabled = false;
}

That will disable the button after is has been clicked. Then in the last frame of you MovieClip you can have:

myButton._enabled = true;

So that the button becomes avtive again.

There are other ways, like using a variable, but this was the first i thought of.

Here’s one simple way. On the button apply this action:

on (release){
_root.myButton.enabled = false;
}

That would disable that button after it is clicked. To renable it, place this on the last frame of the movie that is being played:

_root.myButton.enabled = true;

Now that’s a simple way of doing it, I’m sure you can set up some kind of function to do it as well.

EDIT: aww man korn beat me to it. :stuck_out_tongue:

electrongeek
Forum Wanderer

and the ‘Forum Wanderer’ is a gradient from light to dark red

Shuga, I’m not suppose to tell you this, but since you’ve been here for awhile, I’ll let you in on a secret…

It’s HTML!! :stuck_out_tongue:

HTML? did you just give each letter a seperate color? or did you use a css tag to give it some silly text effect?

thx =)
