disable button

Better view the fla file. That idea is that from the code you showed us i understand that you put the actions on a button not on a frame.
You say you used:

on (release) {
} - this is used only when you click on the button in the stage and press F9 to add code directly to it. It isn't a good practice. Here for example you probably don't target right the movieclips if you set the actions in the button
you target a that second button as if it were inside the button that contains te code.

You should select a frame, from any layer (best the top layer), from inside the movieclip that contains all the buttons and press F9 to right the code there. Exemple:

security.onRelease = function {
// this.swapDepths(1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc1",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.target_mc1._x = -600;
_root.target_mc1._y = -150;
_root.target_mc1.loadMovie("1.swf");
security.enabled=false;
development.enabled=false;
}

Thnx kGlad

but had to add in an external file. and here is the code

Thank you

i don't think i can help you without looking at your fla and doing the work for you. the things you're saying i have trouble understanding and you're not making progress understanding basic flash terminology as i explain it.

the code is on the security movieclip, not on the time frame.

is Security on the same timeline as the button that contains your code or is it in another movieclip and that (parent of Security) is on the same timeline as the button that contains your code?

Security is a movieclip button

btn_Security is a library name
that is inside 001 movie clip
and 001 instance name is Security

wud u like to view the .fla file?

then you need to use the correct path to the other buttons. what movieclip are the other buttons in? (and security is not in that movieclip?)
