Hey people.

Below is a very simple button code.

```auto

on (release){
    playsound.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

```

And in the attachment you will see the fruits of this haaard work.

My question:

Is there a (simple and clean) way to “lock” the button for a few seconds when it has been pressed?

Press the big grey …thing in the attachment swf file multiple times for one of the many reasons~

Thanks, Jiru.
