Rollover mc animation with button. PLEASE HELP!

I am trying to create a type of drop down menu of sorts…a movieclip that expands a graphic “window” on rollOver and contracts on rollOut. However, inside the window, in the rollover state, I want to have a button(s) that will take you someplace else. Of course, just placing a button in the movieclip timeline, inside the window, does not work. So, I tried loading the button into _level1 from another swf file. This doesn’t work either. As soon as you click on the button, you have left the rollOver state of the mc, and it begins it’s rollOut rewind function.

I know there must be an easier way that I am missing. But I can’t find it and can’t find a tutorial that covers this. I

I used this code in frame 1 of the movieclip

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
}
};
this.onRollOver = function() {
rewind = false;
play();
};
this.onRollOut = function() {
rewind = true;
unloadMovieNum(1);
};

and this in the last frame:

stop();
loadMovieNum(“work.swf”, 1);

I have attached the file in case you’d like to see where I’m at with it.

Thanks for any help with this!!!
