Clicking outside movie windows

Playing a movie in a player window, how do I prevent messages from 
being sent while the movie is playing?  The movie script is:

set the currentTime of player "goodies" to "0"
show player "goodies"
set the callbacks of player "goodies" to "11095,endMovie"
start player "goodies"


I have several pulldown menu buttons on the card, and if I click on 
one of them during the movie, the pulldown menus appear.  I've tried 
every type of "on mousedown" and trapping the menuPick message, but 
nothing I've tried stops the pulldown menus from appearing during the 
movie.

I've tried "lock messages" both before and after starting the movie.  Nada.

I've tried "start player goodies without messages" ... nada.

I've searched the Metacard and Revolution mailing list archives.  No luck.

I don't want clicks to register outside of the movie window while it 
is playing.  How do I accomplish this??

Thanks!

Shari
