Deactivate buttoon after action has been triggered

I am building a Network as a HTML-File. The network is built step after step until it's finished. Sometimes it's needed to click on a point multiple times. My solution for that was, that I made a new smaller button for the next step. Now if I click on some buttons some steps which are already built in the network show up (the smaller buttons). Is there a way to deactivate an action after it has been triggered?

Thank you in advance for all the Help.

you can make the button not visible, remove the event listener, you can assign the mouseEnabled property to false, you can use a toggle in the listener function etc.

I am working with the visible propert for it and I don't have any experience with your other mentioned solutions.

Maybe my idea of how I want it to work helps.

If I click on button A --> button B gets visible

If I click on button A --> button B becoms invisible and button C gets visible

Now if I click on button A again, button B gets visible again but I don't want that because button C is already visible

Is there a option, that after the button has been clicked it gets inactive until turned back on?

you would encode what you want. eg, to start with buttonA visible and buttonB not visible and then change that after buttonA is clicked:

this.buttonB.visible=false;

this.buttonA.addEventListener("click",aF.bind(this));

function aF(){

this.buttonA.visible = false;

this.buttonB.visible = true;

}
