tricky disable button problem

[sid vishus]

Ok, I need to know a little actionscript and hope you will be able to help - I
have always found replies here.

I have my main movie with home, contact and links buttons (in fact they are
movie clips with buttons in them - I intend to animate these buttons
eventually) - my home button movie clip has an instance name of home_mc and the
button inside this has an instance name of home_button

These buttons have simple actionscript to load external swf files at level 1

What i need is some actionscript code that I can put on my home fla that tells
the home button in my main FLA to disable. This will stop the home movie
reloading if I press the button again - you see, the home movie loads itself
with actionscript at the final frame of my main fla and I don't want it to load
again if I press the home button. Am I making sense?

In fact I have uploaded a file to my server that contains some very simple fla
files with these buttons and associated fla files. They were done for another
person on the forum but I got no reply.
Many thanks. I have great confidence in this forum and await your reply.

to disable home_button that's in home_mc from the _root timeline you can use:

home_mc.home_button.enabled=0;
