Hi,
How comfy are you with actionscript ??
Even if you are'nt ..THIS is fairly easy.

Step 1)Make a movie {SPRITE or whatever u'd like to call it} with the desired animation you wanna play on the Mouse Rollover BUT put a KEYframe on the FIRST frame and put a STOP action to it.

Step 2)Make a button with Whoevers snap u want in it.

Step 3)Drag an Instance of the movie u made on to the main scene.

Step 4)Double Click on it {In Flash 4, i dunno how to name it in Flash 5}and name that instance ABC.

Step 5)Drag an instance of your button into the main scene.

Step 6)Open the ACTION window for the button and Choose "TELL target" , it will show you the movie clip "ABC"
on the right hand side in the window.

Step 7)Select ABC from the window.

Step 8)Now say goto and Play and select frame no 1.

THATS ABT IT ....
