how to inactivate buttons on lower level

[zorn01]

My main interface is on level 0. From there it loads movies up to level 3, always able to return to level 0 menu. The problem is that the buttons on the lower levels stay active. How do I turn them off until you return to that level? I want the level 0 to remain in place so that a bookmark feature I have will remain. So I would prefer not to unload it. Please help.

Hi,
I would try :
_visible = 0; in frame1 of levels 1 & 2
and so on, and when you activate these levels from _level0, (which I am assuming is done by a button, code should be something like:
on(release){
_level1._visible = 1;
_level0._visible = 0;
}


Cheers

when i done summin like this for my site all i did was do some catchy animation so the buttons on level 0 load another level but also dissapear at the same time when clicked on and re-apear when you close the stuff down on level 1 or 2 or whatever

unless there is a change in MX, as far as I know you need to park your lower level. In other words, if you want to see the levels below but don't want their hit states to be active you have to create a dupe frame without the hits(buttons). If you your upper levels cover your lower levels completely then do like vosgien suggested already (if you can't get it to work create an mc of each level and set their visibility to 0 where appropriate)
