AS Button / hit state HELP!

Question

I have a clip with a hit state that I want to target frame 1
of another clip on mouseover. (thumbnail effect) There is a stop
command on frame one of that secondary clip. On click , I want the
secondary clip to play from frame 2, till the end.
My problem is that Im not experienced with actionscript
button behaviors and determining which script commands to use is
confusing.
Can anyone link me or outline what needs to be done here?
Thanks

I prefer to work with mc's on this. The following are the
error codes that were generated.
**Error** Symbol=gallery shots, layer=g1 hit, frame=1:Line 1:
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
g1.onRelease = function(){
**Error** Symbol=gallery shots, layer=g1 hit, frame=1:Line 5:
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
g1.onRollOver = function(){
Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2
in this example I placed the btn graphic over the gallery
thumb on a separate layer.
Perhaps this requires a different approach because I'm not
seeing something here. (the following is not on the main timeline)
If I create a movie clip named gallery_mc from scratch and
place a thumb on layer 1, convert the thumb to an mc, open the
thumb mc and set the timline as follows: layer1 frame 1 (stop
action), layer 1 frame 10 (stop action), layer 2 frame 1 (static
image), layer 2 frame 2 (image begins tween), layer 2, frame 10
(image ends tween). being this is the thumb effect mc, the symbol
that i created with alpha 0% (is this refered to as the handler?)
should be placed on the thumb on the gallery clip stage. I believe
thats where is should be (on a different layer than the thumb pic
itself). the action should be placed on this symbol.
So there are two mc's in the example , the gallery mc
containing the thumb pic, and the thumb mc.
If this is false, then what would the layout be?
note : the main timeline already has a button link to the
gallery mc and works. I dont want to revert to button symbols to do
this. I prefer this new challenge with btn_mc's.
