Menu Dilema

I am new to Actionscript and I am learning Actionscript by creating a website.
I want to create a menu that has large buttons situated in the middle of the site.
When you roll over one button the other buttons displace (or slide a few pixels away) while the original button expands.

I got so far as to getting the button to slide away, but it only worked when I rolled over the movie clip instance and not the button instance.

sq_mc was the movie clip instance
and sy_mc was the button instance

When I replaced the movie clip instance (sq_mc) into the code the other button slid fine, but the original button (sq_mc) didn’t act as a button anymore, just a MC. So I put in the instance name for the button so that it would act as a button.

It did, but now the other button doesnt slide anymore.

sqq_mc is the instance name for the movie clip that the other button is situated in.

[w/ MC instance]

[COLOR=“DeepSkyBlue”]sq_mc.onRollOver = function () {
sqq_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)

}

sq_mc.onRollOut = function () {
sqq_mc.gotoAndPlay(6)

}

sqq_mc.onRollOver = function () {
sq_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

sqq_mc.onRollOut = function () {
sq_mc.gotoAndPlay(6);
}[/COLOR]

[w/ Button instance]

[COLOR=“Orange”]sy_mc.onRollOver = function () {
sqq_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)

}

sy_mc.onRollOut = function () {
sqq_mc.gotoAndPlay(6)

}

sqq_mc.onRollOver = function () {
sq_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

sqq_mc.onRollOut = function () {
sq_mc.gotoAndPlay(6);
}[/COLOR]
