GUI buttons / blocking script

[sag_aloo55]

Hi All
I'm after some help with GUI buttons.

At several points in my game, I have a GUI button you can click which will fade the screen to black, turn on another GUI, then fade back in again (for example, the main screen has a journal button; when you click it the screen fades to black, then fades in again showing the journal; there's another button on the journal screen to go back to normal)

My problem is that during the fade the GUI buttons stay visible with a kind of ugly hash over them, which I don't want. I assume that this is because a blocking script is running (I am using FadeIn / FadeOut)

Is there a way round this? Or a way to achieve the same effect not using GUI buttons?

Any help greatly appreciated.
