I have a login form, with a Username, Password text field and a Connect button. I created a movie clip with transparency at 20%, the size of the stage.

When the user click Connect, I use attachMovie on the main form and I would like that everything under the movie clip is impossible to click.

How could I do this?
Thanks.
 
Add an invisible button (with no script attached to it), on the lowest layer of your movie clip. That invisible button will override any underlying symbols' actions.
You can get rid of the hand cursor, by adding the following...

my_invisible_btn.useHandCursor = false;

When you get rid (or close...) the mc, the underlying symbols will be re-activated.
