On my stage i have a numebr of movieclips that are buttons. when clicked these open up another movieclip on top of the stage.

Is there a way to make it so that when this window is open the buttons on the main stage cannot be accessed/pressed? as at the moment when moving mouse around in new window the user can still highlight the buttons on the main stage and click on them.
