Looking for upgrade?

I’m making a new file, and I’m using some inheritance from flash mx /as2.0. However, I’d like to not start something new that is already out of date. (I know cs4 is out but cs4 v.s. cs3 against cs3 to mx is a BIG difference). Can anyone possibly convert this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/button_effect.htm into as3/cs3?
