It’s just a MovieClip inside the “over” frame in the button.

There are 4 frames to buttons : normal, over, pressed, hit area. The normal state is the logo, with nothing special, same with the pressed frame, but inside the over frame, you have to place a movie clip this time, that will do whatever you want it to do. Here, it’s a little random animation, but it can be anything.

Create the movie clip, then your button, edit the button, add a frame in the over state, and drag the clip from the library.
