hi,

i have a main swf that is loading different swfs into a higher level. i don’t want the buttons on the main level still active so i am using:

mybutton.enabled = false;

here is some code…  
work.onPress = function () {  
loadMovie(“work.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 235 ;  
container.\_y = 145 ;  
ipa.enabled = false;  
}

on the work.swf there is also a close button.  
on(release) {  
unloadMovie(\_root.container);  
}

how can i enable the buttons again on the main swf? i have tried the following but am not sure of the path back to the main swf.

on(release) {  
unloadMovie(\_root.container);  
ipa.enabled = true;  
}  
on(release) {  
unloadMovie(\_root.container);  
\_root.ipa.enabled = true;  
}

any help would be great.
