Springy Button Problem - Action Script 2.0

Hello Flash / ActionScript Gurus,

I am working on a project where I am using the attached buttons (download sample below). I am about 90% of the way home where I need to be, I just need to figure out one last problem. If you download and take a look at the sample (I am using Flash 8), you will see exactly what I am working with.

In the sample, the problem that I am trying to overcome is that I need the mouse NOT to stop the button movement until the buttons come completely to a rest (after they have completed their springy effect). I was thinking that I could accomplish this by disabling the mouse for a second or two, or even disable and re-enable the buttons (which are actually Movie Clips) for a short period of time (1 or 2 seconds), but I cannot figure out how to do this. Just click on the buttons and as you do so, move your mouse over the button that is coming back onto the screen and you should see it stop exactly where it is at, before it has returned to it's original point of origin.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I have been banging my head against the wall on this for a few hours now, to no avail. There's also some pretty neat code in here for springy button movement that you could add to your own library in exchange for your help here, in case you don't already have it.

Thanks so much!
