What do you mean by animated?
One way would be to place a Movie Clip on the Over state of a Button. The Movie Clip would of course contain the animation for your button.

What I want to a small animation that plays all the time but is a button and I do not know how to do this. Do I create a movie clip first with the animation and then add it to the button in all frames?

My advice: do the tutorials that come with your flash product. Then search Kirupa for Tuts on buttons and animation. Simple as that!
