The .swf file is fine, you have to right click and save it to view it in the standalone player.
And, I don’t see the problem. If you got it to work for the example .swf file why can’t you do it for other buttons?

actually, i don’t have the .fla file… because, i got the swf from the nike website… maybe i should post the main file… just see the menu button… i just like the animation, but still can’t figure out how to make the fading effect… should i convert it to button or i just right click at the instance & use the ‘on mouse event \> roll over’ to make the effect?.. i know how to use the movie clip, but it seems not working…

It could A) be a good motion tween or B) actionscript.
If it is B, then you should check out this stuff from Senocular, it’s good stuff…
