I created a Flash exe file that has a menu with links to other Flash exe files. I am having a problem when people click on the links more than once. When they do multiple clicks on a link, it opens more than one instance of the linked files. Because these linked files have audio, it ends up sounding terrible. I know they can just close the second instance of the file, but I really need to be mindful of people that aren’t technology savvy and wouldn’t think to do that. Is there a way to have additional clicks ignored, so that this doesn’t happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
