Secoundary/GUI camera not pausing/disabeling.

Question

I need to Disable one script on two objects from a script on a third object.

I have a Script on my main camera and on a GUI camera that makes them mimics the movement in the main window (like a Maya or Unitys main view and view cube). My script disables the camera in the main view when I want but the mini-map view cube keeps moving.

Here is a summery of what I have:

 private float waitTime = 0.75f; //wait time befor reacting to mouse hold
 private float downTime; //internal time from when the key is pressed
 private bool isHandled = false; //toggle the mouse hold event on and off
 GameObject Cam1;
 GameObject Cam2;
 FreeObjectRotationCam frc1;
 FreeObjectRotationCam frc2;
 
     //link the cameras and movment script for mark up menue pauseing. 
     void Awake(){
         Cam1 = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
         Cam2 = GameObject.Find("GUICamera");
         frc1 = Cam1.GetComponent<FreeObjectRotationCam>() as FreeObjectRotationCam;
         frc2 = Cam2.GetComponent<FreeObjectRotationCam>() as FreeObjectRotationCam;
     }

Then when I hold the mouse down I disable the script.

 void OnMouseDrag(){
         
         if((Time.time > downTime + waitTime) && !isHandled){
             isHandled = true;// reset the timer for the next button press
 
             //Disable the Camera mouse movement.
             frc1.enabled=false;
             frc2.enabled=false;
 }

The frc1.enabled = true/false works fine but the frc2 is doing nothing. Any ideas how I can make the script turn off on both cameras? I tried frc1.enabled = !frc1.enabled to toggle but that didn't work.

My code is based on the answer here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/553324/problem-in-calling-scripts.html

Can I not call the same script twice even though it is on a different object?

When I turn off frc2 first it pauses the view cube and not the main window.

If this question needs any clarification let me know and I will edit as needed.

I got the code working. The above code is fine.

I had

 //re-enable Camera mouse movement.
 void LateUpdate(){
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)&& isHandled)
         frc1.enabled=true;
         frc2.enabled=true;
 }

which I replaced with

 void OnMouseUp(){
     frc1.enabled=true;
     frc2.enabled=true;
 }

and now it is working.

I think I may have had something commented out that shouldn't have been or some syntax error that mono develop didn't catch.

But its working now so its all good. I hope this post helps someone else in need.
