I’ve got a large scrolling thumbnail gallery which is attaching mc’s dynamically based on xml, php, mysql. it’s working great. when you click on a thumbnail a popup (within flash, not really a popup) window comes up and will load an .flv, another image and some stats. The popup zooms in over top of the field of thumbnails and the mc containing the thumbnails drops alpha so you can focus on the popup. what I need help figuring out is a way to stop all mouse events on the mc’s in that container mc (the thumbnails). right now they are still active behind the popup and they need to be inactive otherwise you can still click on them behind the popup…
hopefully i explained that well enough!
