FLASH: F5:Two Buttons

[Virgil Carroll]

Group,


Is there a way that anyone can think of that a person could activate two buttons at once.  I will explain what I am doing.


I have set up a drag action so that I drag around a small button movie with the mouse at all time.  Whenever the button is pressed it causes a ripple mask effect to go across the screen using the attachMovie method.  This needs to sit on the top most layer to cause a ripple effect on the main movie timeline.  My problem is that I also have other buttons on the screen that activate navigation to other parts of the site and when I am using the ripple button the other buttons do not work.  I tried putting the ripple button on a lower layer and setting a higher level for the ripple movie clip attachment, but the ripple still runs behind the main movie.  Is there a way to work around this?  Is there a way to set two button operations at the same time?  


Thanks for any help in advance.


Tx,

Virgil Carroll
