turn off on release functionality on movieclip? AS2

I have this file from here that uses this code to turn a movie clip into a button. http://pastie.org/575874

What I want to do is disable that button so the interactivity and functionality in that movie clip will show through instead of just the whole clip being a button.

Any advice how to remove that would be great. There are already some functions in the den file that I could place the new remove OnRelease code on that that would be the right place for this removal to happen. Thanks for any time or help anyone may have to offer. or

do you want the movieclip to have no event?

fish.onRelease = null ?

delete mc.onRelease;

or you could use mc.disabled = true; to just disable its functions, and enable it again whenever needed

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it. I tried each suggestion in many parts of the code.

So far Emromni’s suggestion delete mc.onRelease; disabled the onRelease listener and made my underlying .swf interactivity work perfect.

But the new question is once it is deleated can I enable it again? I tried the suggestion to use mc.disabled = true but that would not disable the clip the same way the delete did.

Oh well I know this is a long shot because I you all dont see the whole code I am editing so feel free to ignore post. Thanks for the previous help though

Have you tried just simply yourMC.enabled = true, or yourMC.enabled = false;

Oops! Made a mistake there Its not mc.disabled = true; but mc.enabled = false;. Sorry for the mixup To re-enable it, just do mc.enabled = true;

And if you want to click through the mc then set mc._visible = false; too.
