Good Afternoon peoples,

With the Window Component, you can have Modal functionality, means that the user cannot interact with any elements in the page, until the Window component is closed. I want to look into the component’s classes to see what function they use to remove all interactivity in the page temporarilty, but thought of looking into Kirupa first 🙂

Anyone know of any actionscript function/class that can help me switch parts of the interactivity on/off?

Note when using the Window component, and you roll over one of your original movie buttons, your cursor does not even turn into a hand ! This is awesome … I need to know this one!
