disable button feature

[pkcidstudio]

i have a serries of buttons that tallie up a score, something i would like to add to them is a way to disable the addition of other points. this way it would limit the amount of points one person could earn per turn. here is the script for the buttons.

on (release) {
_root.TeamA = _root.TeamA + 6;
_root.Earned = _root.Earned + 6;
gotoAndPlay("bargain_hunter", 6);
}


any help would be great

To disable a button just do something like


on(release){
this.enabled=false;
//whatever else you want to add in
}

and make it true to reactivate it.

does that get placed into the btn or on the root? i tried into the btn an it still doesnt disable it :( any ideas?

[Lord Rahl]

If it doesn't work in that form, try switching the
this.enabled=false;
to the root form as you mentioned. So something like....
_root.BTN.enabled=false;
