Button activates under sprite

[Chad Goodson]

I have a simple setup where a button is setup with the ButtonPlayAnimation  attached. The script prompts a sprite with a label, to animate onto the screen thus covering the original button. The problem is that I can still interact with the original button through the sprite. The result is that the animation replays(an abrupt effect). How can I make it so the original button is no longer accessible once it has been covered by the sprite screen?
Thank you.

you can add a box collider to the sprite.  That is what I did when I had a popup in my settings menu.. so that you couldn't interact with the buttons behind it, I just put a collider box on the background sprite of the popup.

Touches only interact with colliders. It doesn't matter how many labels or widgets are on top of it, if there's no collider blocking.
