I've got 20 rollover buttons visible on the screen at all times. When a viewer
rolls over a button, a detail screen pops up, and when the viewer rolls out of
the detail screen, the detail screen disappears. In some instances, there are
buttons beneath the detail screen.

How can I disable the buttons beneath the details?

If the detail screen is a movie clip, you can place action script to not show
the hand cursor

frame script:
detailScreenInstanceName.onRollOver=function() {
this.useHandCursor=false;
}

movie clip script:

on(rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor=false
}

I made a cheesy example http://www.shan-dysigns.com/flash/useHandCursor.fla.
There are two green movie clips (to act as two versions of a detail screen).
One is scripted with frame actions, the other with movie clip actions. I think
you will get the idea.
