I need to disable the buttons, but when this property is on it just changes the background color and the button still works. Do you know what the problem may be?

I am using version 7.9.8

Do you have your script in the button action or button mouse pressed?

Enabled only affects the ~~onClicked~~ actionPerformed action, the other mouse event handlers will still run, as @jpark alluded to. Either move your script to the ~~onClicked~~ actionPerformed event, or add a condition that checks the enabled property first

Are you sure it blocks onClicked? I thought enabled/disabled only affected `actionPerformed`.
