Here’s my problem:

Main.swf has a button which loads Movie.swf into a movie clip ‘contents’ (as shown in the tutorials). ‘contents’ is directly over the button, so when you move your mouse in Movie.swf, it still detects the button in Main.swf.

I need to know how to make Movie.swf use Main.swf button so that I can disable it while Movie.swf is open, and enable it when Movie.swf is closed.

So far my code is ‘blank’.MyButton.enable=false;  
with ‘blank’ being main.swf. I tried \_root, \_parent, etc…, but nothing worked.
