Im building a relatively simple flash application that has a base flash movie for the user interface, then using _root.createEmptyMovieClip… and _root.container.loadMovie… to load a new swf on TOP of the base movie… this new movie is meant to ‘dim’ the base movie and show mainly the new movies buttons and interactive elements, with the base movie showing through slightly, but again, dimmed so as to indicate that its still there, but not accessible until the user closes the newly loaded movie.
Im using a solid color block (black) with alpha of about 60% to ‘dim’ the base movie, and my new movie clip is loading fine on top of the base movie… but I can still see my buttons and base movie elements being triggered by mouseover… can I add some type of barrier so that while my overlay movie is loaded and my base movie is slightly visible the users mouse movements DONT show the base movies button hit states, mouseover animations, etc… sort of like an invisible ‘barrier’ that covers or shileds that base movie from any mouse interaction at all.
Im loading the new movie using _root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,2); … then … root.container.loadMovie(“videomodule.swf”);
thanks for any help you all can provide!
