Hi, I’m doing a small site with flash and there are some buttons, and by clicking those the flash will load a new swf to the MC on top of everything. Is there a quick way to unactivate those buttons after clicking those because they will be visible beneath the new swf but I don’t want to get access to those before you have quit the new swf.

I hope you understand what I’m after. 🙂
