Need some help

First of all I would like to say hello to all the Forum members.

I have the folowing problem.

I am using Flash 8 and would like to create an animation for my future website. What I would like to do is the following:

I want to create an animated menu looking similar to the attached flash animation.

The menu buttons will be a variety of 11 images arranged in an oval circle with the website logo located in the center of this oval circle. The mentioned oval circle should spin either left or right depending on which side of the animation the mouse pointer is located and stop if the mouse pointer is in the center/middle of the animation.

As the images move to the front (during the circular but slightly tilted motion) they should have a similar zoom in effect like the one in the attached animation and zoom out again when moving back into the background.

I am sure that this kind of animation is very simple when using Action Script but I am not such an advanced user to know what code I would need to write. Therefore I hope that one or more of you can help me in creating this animation.

I hope on many replies and already thank all of you who offer to help in advance for your efforts.

Mike.
