Does anyone know how I can disable a clickable object when I load a movie over the top of it? Here’s an example. Click the thumbnail to reveal a larger image. everything is still active behind it. Go to the “products” section: [http://www.entremedia.com/index2.html](http://www.entremedia.com/index2.html)

Thanks

this\_btn.enabled = “false”;  
that\_mc.enabled = “false”;

I’m actually loading one swf into another on another level. I may be doing something wrong, but I don’t think this is the solution?

Thanks, Sean

You can load everything clickable into an array and then loop through the array disabling everything. Or have everything loaded into a single movieclip and just disable that movieclip.

E.g. have all your menu items in one clip (“menu”) and then just disable it/enable it when needed.

It’s exactly the solution you’re looking for…just replace _that\_mc_ with the name of the movieclip containing the clickable objects.

I’m sure you’re right. I guess being a novice, I’m not doing something right.
