    I have a root movie, with a button that launches an external swf, which lays over the main movie as a half transparent window. How can i get the buttons behind it (the ones in the main movie) to be inactive while this window lays on top? I know it has something to do with swapping depths
    anyone have a method?
    thank you kindly

    I use a few different methods depending on what else is going on. One is to disable the buttons while the overlaying clip is present, ie, my_btn.enabled = false; Another method would be to put a blank button over the top of the overlying movieClip and the do a my_btn.useHandCursor = false;
