Hey
Try this I think this is what you are after, I will let you go through the code and figure it out its not so hard, you are basically just making your buttons out of movie clips, I use this method and it works fine, however I have had trouble adding an over state to it also, I can make it work but it has a few little bugs that I would rather not risk.
Hope it works for ya
