Rest of Slide Shape Buttons - How to Disable on certain slides?

Hello,

Ver: CAP 7

I have placed a shape button that is set to extend across several slides "rest of slides."  To hide the buttons on slides, where they are not needed, I tried placing swf, shape, and graphic files on top; but the button is still active.

How do I block, cover or disable a "rest of slide" button action?

Thanks

    You have to hide AND disable the shape button on those slides. I asked why both are needed, but never got an answer. Use a shared or advanced action On Enter for those slides. You can do the reverse on slides where you need them again.

    An interactive object can never be disabled by covering it with a non-interactive or static object. There is one exception: dropdown interaction (static) can disable a Text Entry Box when it is put over it. Don't ask me why, I have no answer.

    Thanks for your speed reply.  However, I meant to say... "rest of project" buttons, (so these buttons are NOT on the slides, so I can't select them on individual slides).

    I did understand you perfectly. Those shape buttons are on the first slide, right? That means they have a unique ID, correct? And you can hide objects on any slide with any event. That means that you can hide/disable a shape button on slide 1 with an action On Enter for Slide 9 without any problem. That is the case since version 5 or 5.5, only for very old versions you could only hide an object when you were on a slide. Same to show/enable shape buttons.
