do u know how to make a button? if not. here you go.

Creating the button:
Go to Insert > New Symbol
Youll notice that you will get a different timeline, with four frames, Up, Over, Down, and Hit.

In the Up frame, you will need to put what the button looks like normally. Then insert a new keyframe, just incase you dont know go to (in mx 2004) insert > timeline > keyframe. In flash mx, just do insert > Keyframe.

In the Over Frame, you will need to put what the mouse looks like when the mouse is over it. Then insert a new key frame.

In the Down Frame, put what the button will look like when you press the button. Then insert a new key frame.

In the Hit Frame, put what the button will look like when you release the button.

Actions:
Now you need to open the actions panel ( F9 ), and enter this code
on(release) {
            gotoAndPlay(the frame you want to play from);
}

Afterwards:
ok for the creating the button steps, you will need to draw the silver and other stuff. Thats the only way to do it. I hope this has helped you.

correct but make a movie clip and add the text moving side to side in the movieclip if u want that same effect.
