Create a button in Flash, see the help files to learn how to do this. In button edit mode you will have 4 frames up, over, down and hit. The over frame allows you to add graphics or animations so that when someone mouses over your button/s they will see whatever is in the over frame of your button. If you need more information on this just ask. funkymonk B-)

Make your graphic icon into a movieClip, then attach something like...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_alpha>50 && this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse,true)) {
_alpha-=5;
} else if (_alpha<100) {
_alpha+=5;
}
}

...which will fade the graphic down to 50% transparency depending on how long the mouse sits over it - when you roll off the graphic will gradually return to normal.

Changing colour can be done with the same mouse detection piece, just substitute a Color() object script for the _alpha stuff (bit more complicated but not a major problem).
