Hiya i need a piece of lingo code that can make a button inert, in other words
once i have pressed on it and its taken me to that page, i cannot press it
again. So it becomes inactive until i press another button which takes me to
another page. thanks in advance

You would set a property to act as a switch. The switch starts off
active, then when the button is pushed, it sets itself to inactive.
Then, when or if you want it to become active, you send the sprite a
message to activate it. In my example below, if the button was in
sprite channel 1, then you could use the following commands:

sendAllSprites(#makeActive,1) --activates sprite 1
sendAllSprites(#makeInactive,1) --deactivates sprite 1

Put whichever command is appropriate to activate or deactivate the
button if you need to. If you leave the page that the sprite is on,
then re-enter it, it will be automatically reactivated (on it's
beginSprite() event).


---START HERE
property pActive

on beginSprite me
me.makeActive(me.spriteNum)
end

on makeActive me,vSpriteNum
if vSpriteNum=me.spriteNum then
sprite(me.spriteNum).pActive=1
end if
end

on makeInactive me,vSpriteNum
if vSpriteNum=me.spriteNum then
sprite(me.spriteNum).pActive=0
end if
end

on mouseUp me
if pActive then
--do whatever it is that the button should do
me.makeInactive(me.spriteNum)
end if
end
--END HERE
