Trying to create complex button

[Troupeslave]

Okay so I want to creat a button. But I want this button's rollover state to be
a 2-3 frame animation. Kinda like the buttons on this website

Do I need a different program? Is this done in ActionScripting? Any help would
be appreciated

put your rollover animation in a movie clip and then put that movie clip on
your roll over state. Or you could have the movieclip with the animation. on
your stage under or over your button or wherever it plays at. give it a
instancce name of rollover. have a stop action on the first frame. In the
rollver state of your button tell the target movie clip to goToAndPlay frame
.. Then in the the other states of the button have the MC gotoAndStop (1).

Don't forget in your animation movie clip it put either a stop action on the
last frame or, if you want it to loop, a goToAnd Play (2) .

i couldnt fully understand your problem but i hope this helps
just put a movie clip about your 2-3 frame animation to your buttons 'Over'
frame
if you want to do this just by actionscript you can do it by adding the code
to your button:

on(rollOver){
myTarget_mc.attachMovie("myAnimation")
myAnimation_mc.play();
}

another way of doing this is making a movie clip and creating different
frames for every animation that will play.
then you will reference to the frames with gotoAndPlay action outside the
movie clip

myButton_mc.onRollOver = myButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(n);
myButton_mc.onRelease = myButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(m);

n here is the desired frame that the animation of rollover event is
triggered and m is the same procedure for release animation
etc..
