The way we did this, is create a movieclip, then inside of the movie clip, we made a tween that we wanted to occur when we roll over the menu button. then we gave it an instance name “b” then we wrote this code:

buttons=”More Info, Click here, Candyland, Contact us, Whatever you want”;
buttons=buttons.split(”, “);

function btn(mc){
mc.onRollOver=function(){
mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
mc.nextFrame();
mc.nextFrame();
}
}
mc.onRollOut=function(){
mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
mc.prevFrame();
}
}
}

i=0;
while(buttons[i]!=null && buttons[i]!=”"){
duplicateMovieClip(b, “b”+i, i);
this[”b”+i]._y=(b._height-1)*i;
this[”b”+i].txt=buttons[i];
this[”b”+i].onEnterFrame=btn(this[”b”+i]);
this[”b”+(i-1)].corner._visible=false;
i++;
}
b._visible=false;

now we have our animated menu.
