struggling with simple rollover menu in AS3

Hi
I cant get my head around how to do it in AS3 with less code as possible and have no success so far. I couldnt find any similar tutorials on the web

Hint: don't look for tutorials, learn programming instead ( only if you ever want to actually be able to do something with AS 3.0 ).

thanks a lot! currentTarget FTW!!!
how do i turn cursor into a hand when im hovering over a button though? buttonMode = true doesnt seem to work

var menuLabels:Array = ["About", "Services", "Showcase", "Clients"];
var menuItems:Array = ["bFlameButton1", "bFlameButton2", "bFlameButton3", "bFlameButton4"];

for (var i:int = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
{
	var button:MovieClip = this.getChildByName(menuItems[i].toString()) as MovieClip;
	button.ButtonText.text = menuLabels[i].toString();
	
      button.buttonMode = true;
	
        button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onButtonOver);
	button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, onButtonOut);
	
}
function onButtonOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("over");
}

function onButtonOut(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	event.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("out");
}

It's not working because the text field is stealing the event. Use button.mouseChildren = false; button.buttonMode = true;
