this has to be simple

I have 3 movie clips. Each one is a button, on mouse over on each I want the button rolled over to make the other 2 invisable to the viewer, and then on mouse out i want them to be restored.

I have been trying to figure it out with no luck. Tried setting something up with 1=visable 2=non, and use these commands on mouse events… im getting stuck however. thank you for any help.

button instance names:  
show  
photo  
book

thanks again.
