Click Blocker Not Blocking Clicks?

[Annie]

Can blocking and unblocking Mouse Clicks only be used at the beginning of a frame event? Because, I can't get it to work, if the user clicks on an object (Lever in Slot Machine). Currently I'm using HIDE MOUSE once the Lever is clicked and Reels are spinning, but you can still click the Lever with an invisible mouse. DOH!

I would set a flag on an object when you don't want people to click
(Maybe the slot machine handle itself)

Turn the flag ON when the user clicks on it and then set it back OFF when the slot machine is ready to play again.

Then when someone clicks on the slot machine handle check the value of the flag.

If they click on it and the flag is on -- You don't want the event to work
If they click on it and the flag is off -- You know the machine is ready to play

I can confirm Annie's problem. The Click Blocker object seems to have no effect on clicking on Active objects.

Edit: I just tried it in MMF 1.5. It has no effect on Actives in 1.5 either.
