Disable moovie clips

[DrGonzo]

Hello all,
Does anyone know how you would disable a movie clip, in the same way the you would disable a button.
I have a movie clip that performs a function when you click it, but I want to be able to disable this feature when you click a 'disable' button, but still see the movie clip.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
DrGonzo.

im confused - you want the movie to play automatically or something?

Hi Dan,
Sorry - my explaiation is a bit vague...

I have a movie clip that loads images using the new fileRefernce class. Once you have loaded your image, you can click the image (movie clip) and it applies a free transform tool.
There are also other movie clips with text in, that sit on top of this clip and have the same free transform feature. What I wanted was a button that turns the feature off (for the text movie clips) when you click it, so that you can click the image movie clip.
I couldn't use swapDepths, because the text clips need to be on top of the image clip at all times.

I have actualy sorted the problem now, by using

Code: Select all

delete(text1MC.onPress);

When my 'disable' button is clicked.

I got this solution from someone on another forum and it's a really useful function that I didn't know existed.

For anyone who has similar problems, this function deletes the code placed in the brackets.

Thanks again,

DrGonzo.
