Hey Everyone!

I have a weird problem here. Check it out:  
If you go to [www.mistiemiles.com](http://www.mistiemiles.com) and you click on Demos, the Media Playback Component’s buttons are not pressable. I think it is because the way I have it set up I treat the moviclips as buttons. With a on (release) state etc. Is there anyway, to maybe disable the button while it is open? Or somthing like that?

I would prefer not to post the .fla so if someone PM’s me that they want to help, I will give them a link to download the fla.

Thanks!
