I was wondering if it was possible to block buttons, by putting
something in front of them. I know about btn.enable, but would like to
rather just open another MC in front of my buttons and make them not
work that way. I have too many buttons in this area and don't want to
deal with turing them all on and later all off again. Is this posslible?
I have tried this, but so far the buttons always still work, even though
you can't see them.

Thanks for any help!

Yes, but you need to block the actions as well.

On the empty movieClip that you are using to block them, in the actions layer
of that clip put this:

this.onRelease = function(){
// don't do anything
}

this will intercept the button click and not do anything

hope that helps

Or you could place one big button in front of all the smaller ones and
disable this one button.
big_btn.enable = false;

Peo
