OK, here's what I have:
A movie with some animations, and 4 buttons.
I have a loadMovie command on the buttons, which loads another swf on top of it, containing some scrollable text and a couple pics.
On the movie that loads on top, I have set an alpha of 40, because I think it looks pretty cool when you can see the animation playing in the background.
The problem is that this makes the buttons on the movie underneath active. I don't want people to accidentally click on one of those buttons, and load another movie before they're through reading everything.
Does anyone know a good trick to making the buttons on the bottom level inactive? My first instinct is just to put an invisable button under everything on the loaded movie and assign no actions to it. I'm just wondering if there's another trick I should know.
