[QuantumDoja]

Hi, I have a movieclip with some button componenets on them, each with click events, when i add another movieclip over the top of these buttons to hide them, if i click where the buttons are, i still get the click events...??? how do i make it so that the mouse will not go through to the next layer??

Regards

In the hiding movie clip, add an invisible button (the size of the movie clip or of the whole stage area...) on the lowest layer of the clip. This invisible button (with no script) should override the underlying buttons and keep them from being clickable...
You can also disable the hand cursor on that invisible button with...

my_invisbut.useHandCursor = false;
