I’ve searched a bit around the forums and can’t find a specific way on doing this. If someone could link me to a tutorial or forum post it would be great.

Just make your MC  
and inside your MC in the second frame make your button of a different color and put stop(); on the second and first frame inside your MC

on your movie clip type  
on(rollOver){  
this.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
on(rollOut){  
this.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
Is that what your trying to do ?

This would work. And then on the stage give the movie clips the actions i would give to a button such as “on release, get url” etc.
