No real easy solution to this Carl!
Either, when you load the movie, at the same time you move the main movie on to a second frame, an exact replica of frame 1, but with all buttons turned into graphic symbols, so that they are no more active.
Or you create invisible buttons in the loaded movie overlapping the ones on the main timeline. The problem with that is that this deactivates the buttons on the main timeline, but new buttons (the invisible ones) are activated. Of course, if you don't add actions to those buttons, nothing will happen, but hovering over them, the cursor will change. Worst case, you could allways add a rollover message, saying something like: "This button is presently de-activated", but I'd try the first solution.

worked sweet bro..i created a dummy frame holding everything except the buttons (the loaded movie would have covered up _root's buttons anyhow)..

using:

on (press) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
loadMovieNum ("professional.swf", 1);
}

sent root to dummy frame 2 and called the loaded movie..


thanks for the thoughts...
