That’s odd… I didn’t think that any action script would be effective on buttons in a lower level which was covered by the upper level.

There is only one solution. Place the buttons you want to have “inactive” inside a movie clip. Give that movie clip an instance name, and then control it with a script like this

\_level0.myMovieClip.\_visible=false;

the visible property, set to false, disables all hit spots and all play heads it is related to. So all of your buttons should be inactive when visible is set to false.

Glad to know that I can help out a teacher. It gives me hope in my idea to teach Flash at the local schools. Not sure if I can do that or not yet… but I’m working at it. (would look great on my resume. 😉 )
