The method Daniel suggests is essentially the same that is used within components when enabling/disabling. When disable is called the component throws up a blocker¹ that prevents interaction with the control. So... You could use the default component behavior of calling enabled=false (at a high level in the app) or do something all fancy schmancy like Daniel. I¹ve used both... I just like poking fun at fellow Flexcoders and using the word schmancy.¹
