not sure if this will work with Flash 5 but:


myButton.enabled = false;


to reenable


myButton.enabled = true;

easiest way in Flash5 is to put your buttons in a MC. On frame 1 the button (+ stop() ), on frame 2 the disabled state (+ stop() ).

Then onRelease you simply tell this buttonMC to gotoandStop(2) and for example all the others to become active again (so move back to frame1)

wow so you can't use the enabled function in Flash 5?

In flash 5 buttons cannot have instance names.
