button enable/disable

[KTA]

if you have a button on layer 1 and movie clip on layer 2 (above) covering the button why can I still click/rollover the button.

I wonder if there is a way to prevent this. I don't think I ever ran into this problem until tonight... err!

I'm sure its a depth issue or something......

either you 'disable' your button or assign an event to your movieclip, which then cover your button..

cheers

really? With this situation I can disable those buttons... should I use that old myClip.useHandCursor = false work around or is there something better?

myMovieClip.useHandCursor = false;
//Boolean value that indicates whether the hand cursor displays

You might also run into this at some point also, concerning buttons (for future reference)
