Menu is giving me a headache

Hello,

Below is an attempt of how I want my menu to show when the page is loaded, but the problem is:

1- I was only able to do this animation with of the green bar and the buttons as a movie clip. I made the text as a button, but on the main stage when I made the animation and then when I went to the button stage to make a rollover, that wouldn’t work.

I don’t know how to do the buttons with a rollover and the animation of text at the same time…either I make the buttons and rollovers with no animations correctly or I can make the animation of the text and the green bar animated as well but the rollovers and the buttons don’t work.

What is the right way of doing these animations and the buttons with rollovers right?? I am so lost!!
