You could always disable the button:

btnHome_mc.onRelease = function () {
this.enabled=false;
}

I'm very new to flash and I'm slowly building a website. I have some buttons
created and want a certain function to stop when another one is initiated. Here
is the actionscript:

btnHome_mc.onRollOver = function () {
btnHome_mc.gotoAndPlay("_rollover");
}
btnHome_mc.onRollOut = function () {
btnHome_mc.gotoAndPlay("_rollout");
}
btnHome_mc.onRelease = function () {
btnHome_mc.gotoAndPlay("_click"); gotoAndStop("home");
}

I want the onRollOut function to stop once the onRelease function is
initiated. Can anyone help?

So, basically...clicking on a button would disable itself but enable the
others?

btnHome_mc.onRelease = function () {
this.enabled=false;
btnOther.enabled=true;
btnOther2.enabled=true;
}

btnOther.onRelease = function () {
this.enabled=false;
btnHome_mc.enabled=true;
btnOther2.enabled=true;
}

btnOther2.onRelease = function () {
this.enabled=false;
btnHome_mc.enabled=true;
btnOther.enabled=true;
}

That works perfectly THANKS!

However it does present me with another issue, I have 4 buttons that take me
to a different page of my site. If I use the "this.enabled=false" script for
each button, I get the effect I'm looking for with the press of the button, but
I want that effect to switch back to the original onRollOut event when any of
the other 3 buttons are pressed. Can you help out once again?

I sincerely appreciate it!!!

That is very, very close to what I want. The only difference is I want the
onRollOut event for just the button that is disabled to automatically play
when the button is enabled again.

example: I press the "home" button and it gets disabled and enables the rest
of the buttons.
Then I press the "contact" button and it gets disabled and
enables the rest of the buttons AND plays the onRollOut function for the "home"
button that was disabled.

In other words, whichever button that is disabled has it's onRollOut event
play once it's re-enabled.

Hope that is clear enough.

Thank you very much!
