I just noticed that if I disable a group (so that none of the objects in the group can be interacted with) I get the desired effect. However when re-enabling the group, it *ALSO* re-enables ALL the objects in that group, no matter what their status was prior to disabling the group.

I don't know if that is the "expected" behavior by LiveCode, but it is
NOT the behavior I would expect. I would expect when enabling a group
that every object in the group was still in whatever disabled/enabled
state it was in BEFORE the group was disabled.
