I think you mean when the mouse moves over a button, it plays a movie clip. Take a look at the sample FLA I posted, it uses hitTest to play a movieclip. I hope that will give you an idea. =)

Actually I’m sure there is probably a way to do it with regular buttons, but that would be really clumsy since MX is capable of so much more?

The buttons on my site use the same hitTest scripting as the sample I just posted. It shouldn’t be too hard to setup, just study the scripting and apply it to what you want.
