I am trying to re-create the buttons on the top.

I have my buttons, when the mouse is over, i want it to flicker like above.

I can make the button, and i can make a flicker movie (with alpha).

When i do Ctrl+F8 and create button, how do i make sure that the flicker comes above the button?

Make the flicker into a movie clip and place that movie clip into the over state on the button. That is the basic way, then again the advance way includes using no buttons at all.

I made a clone of the fantasy interfaces menu if that would come to use at all:

look for the hitTest function - or on mouseout which ain’t as good
