I feel your pain; this should be in chapter one of every book on Flash ever written.  
Here’s a basic example of what I think you’re looking for.  
[http://www.byrographics.com/AS3/siteTemplate/siteTemplate1.html](http://www.byrographics.com/AS3/siteTemplate/siteTemplate1.html)

I included examples of several techniques to construct this example:  
[LIST]  
[_]Event propagation; new feature of AS3/Flash9  
[_]“switch” conditional for button rollover.  
[_]“if” conditional for the click function.  
[_]TweenMax variable with removeTween.  
[_]TweenMax array.  
[_]Movieclip variable.  
[_]String variable.  
[_]buttonMode for movieclip.  
[/LIST]  
Here’s the fla.(AS3)

TweenMax is required.
