Can I remotely control the state of a button.

e.g. I press one button and it changes other buttons state to “over”

Or do I need to convert it to a mClip?

It can be done a few deferent ways if I’m not mistaken. But without fully understanding what you are trying to do, it’s difficult to determine the best way for you.

A simple cheating method would just be to have multiple movie clips that look like the OVER state of the other buttons. Have them load over the top of the real buttons whenever you mouse over a button [That made sense in my head :-\].
