Button: (Among other solutions) Create a movieclip with frames labelled "_up", "_down" and "_over". (That creates a button movieclip). You might also have to define a this.onPress() or this.onRelease() method (it can be blank). Put your relevant movieclips in the relevant frames and that's your animated button.

Loading: You need to create yourself a preloader that loads in your main movie into itself. (Using loadMovie()). Then you can use getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() to calculate and indicate your percentage loaded...
