hey sorry to be repeating a thread, i just cant find where the thread is of how to make a button inactive.
What i want to do, is when a external movie is loaded i want its button which is on the main timeline to become inactive , maybe greyed out or have a constant mouse over.
ok kool, turned the button off, all is good, but if i was to want the button that was just pressed to be able to show that it is in that buttons section. like have it on its over state constantly till another section ( button) is pressed.
What this says that if the homeButtonActive variable equals true then when the button is pressed it will gotoAndStop on the 2nd frame of the button MC (in which the over state of your clip will be) and if the homeButonActive equals false, then it will go back to frame 1 and re enable the button.
Make any sense?
edit: oh yeah… your button mc will have 2 frames… 1 regular and 1 over. Each frame should have a stop() action on it.
what if you were to use buttons that had , over and out actions on it, such as a arrow tween in on mouse over and arrow tween out on mouse out, and what i wanted to keep there as indication to the area currently in a red arrow which is static.
