So I did “Changing Colors with Actionscript” tutorial and then tried one of my own…I used a movie clip with some text in it, then I have the buttons on the side. When the mouse rolls over the buttons, the text only flashes that color, then reverts to the original.

It sounds to me like a hit area problem.
In your button symbol (assuming that is what you are using), create a new layer, insert a blank keyframe under the “Hit” frame, and in there draw a rectangle to act as your hit area for the button.
