My Flash presentation is an educational exercise where you click one of several answer buttons to give the answer to a question. There’s also an instruction button that loads an external swf (loadMovie) with a short tutorial on the material needed to answer the questions. The problem is this: If you open the tutorial (it opens on top of the exercise) and click at random, you can accidentally click on one of the answer buttons (they aren’t visible - they are beneath the tutorial). This registers an answer (sound cue plays, a point is added to the score). How can I prevent the tutorial from being “transparent” to mouse activity? Thanks for any suggestions.
