I’m sort of re-discovering Flash. As such, I’m a bit rusty with all the ActionScript and general techniques. I have a site that loads swfs on higher levels with loadMovieNum (i.e., a pop-up photo gallery). The only problem lies in _lower level_ buttons still remaining active; apart from the aesthetic issue, I don’t want the user to be able to “accidentally” click something on level0. Is there a general method for keeping the “focus” on the highest level, or making any interactive elements below inactive? Hopefully there’s an easy solution 😉

Cheers,
