flash actionscript: You do the same thing really. Put a movie clip over it with alpha at 0 - and
put mouse handlers on it:

myClip.onRollOver = function(){
}
myClip.onRelease = function(){
}

etc... just put empty functions for whatever events you want to block.

is a there a simple way to "grey out" an area and block mouse events.
I remember in Director I could put a sprite on top of the others and block all events - how do I do that in flash?

Also, to hide that you have an invisible movieclip with mouse events on it set
the useHandCursor property to false. Continuing the above example...

myClip.useHandCursor = false;

This will keep the mouse cursor from changing to the pointing hand when you
move over the hidden movieclips.

thanks for your response. I attached the code to the movieClip.
hmmm, not sure why this needs to be inside another handler...
