Make button inactive

programming flash
1

OK i have an fla to explain this better.

On my main movie i have a sliding door.
Underneath the door i have two buttons.

Even when the door is closed, and although the buttons are below the door, when you mouse over the closed door you still get the mouse hand (acting as if there is a button below).

I want those buttons under the door only to be active once the door is open, is there a way to get around this?

I tried setting them to invisable, but once i have set that, i cant set them to visable.

Anyone know a way?

yeah, my servers not working
just enter the code into the door movie clip right before it’s going to show the buttons
_root.button1._visible = true
and on the first frame of the main timeline set
_root.button1._visible = false

do the same for the second button
