Making an FLVplayback button active again after setting it to null

[Max58kl]

I have an FLVplayback component.
To make the playback buttons unresponsive
at a particular part of the video I have set
the buttons to null.

vidPlayer.playPauseButton = null;
vidPlayer.backButton = null;
vidPlayer.seekBar = null;
 

This works, however I would like to know how to
reinable them again?

I tried changing null to 1 without success.

vidPlayer.playPauseButton = 1;
vidPlayer.backButton = 1
vidPlayer.seekBar = 1;

Instead of setting the playPauseButton and backButton to null
I set their visibility to false

vidPlayer.playPauseButton.visible = false;
vidPlayer.backButton.visible = false;
 

and then back to true

vidPlayer.playPauseButton.visible = true;
vidPlayer.backButton.visible = true;

The seekBar however is a lot more complex.
In the end the work around I used was to draw a
rectangle on top of the seekBar, then convert it to
a movieclip, then set the movieclip's alpha level to zero in the properties inspector.
I was then able to change the visibiltiy of the movieclip as I had with the
playPauseButton and backButton


vidPlayer.playPauseButton.visible = false;
vidPlayer.backButton.visible = false;
invisHideSeekBar.visible = true;

then

vidPlayer.playPauseButton.visible = true;
vidPlayer.backButton.visible = true;
invisHideSeekBar.visible = false;

This way the seekBar is unresponsive when clicked,
and even better, it is still totally visible!
