Here's one way of doing it:
But remember, this should only be temporary, your button being disabled while that selection is displayed only! Once another selection is displayed you have to re-enable your button, so that the user can go back to the previous selection. Regards,

Ok so, if I use the methods above,
then say if I had 5 main buttons, i would have to put
blueButton.enabled = true;
greenButton.enabled = true;
redButton.enabled = true;
yellowButton.enabled = true;
Something like that on all the other buttons then correct?

hi guys!
if i wanted to make it so that all my buttons were disabled, (except for the back button in my movie) is there a way to do that, or do i have to specify every button on the screen with an instance name?
basically, each button loads a movie clip symbol, and whilst that movie clip is playing i dont want any of the buttons to be clickable, except the one which closes said movie clip.
any ideas?

styleBunny, I also posted this in your other thread:
Then just call the function from somewhere:
This will enable all your buttons that have their instance names in the array, if they are disabled. If they are enabled, it will disable them. frozenpeas
Code:
function disableButtons(){
butArray = new Array("but1","but2","but3","but4","but5");
for(i=1;i<=butArray.length;i++){
(_root["but"+i].enabled)?(_root["but"+i].enabled=0):(_root["but"+i].enabled=1);
}
}Then just call the function from somewhere:
Code:
_root.disableButtons();This will enable all your buttons that have their instance names in the array, if they are disabled. If they are enabled, it will disable them. frozenpeas
