Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to keep buttons from still being
active when they are behind other objects such as movie clips or shapes. I have
a popup box that is made visible when a button is clicked, but all the buttons
behind the popup box are still active and make the cursor change even when the
popup is covering them up.

I would rather not have to deactivate all my buttons using Actionscript every
time the popup is made visible and moved into place. Thanks for any help, John

If the thing over the button has mouse events attached to it then they will
prevent the clicks from going through. Also you can use the enable property to
make a button not able to receive mouse events.
