    Help with buttons please

    Hey everyone. I'm making a website that has a bunch of buttons that link to various places along the top.
    The problem is my buttons don't look much like buttons until you put the mouse over them.
    Is there anyway i can make all the buttons change to the "over" state temporarily, without moving the mouse onto it? Just long enough for a user to realise that it is a button.
    Thanks, FohpreF1.

    Because they are photos and by putting text on them (Home, About us, etc.) you can't really see the photos well, and because it's a website for a cambodian orphange it relies heavily on the impact of these pictures.

    What I was really looking for is some code to change the frame of the button, I tried button.gotoAndPlay(2), but this didn't work for some reason. Would it be gotoAndPlay("over") or something?

    Move the button to frame two, but its ok I figured it out now, I put the buttons in mc and had the normal button in first frame, then the over state only in second frame then just did some gotoAndStop stuff. It was pretty much what I thought it would be but for some reason it didn't work when it was a button.
