Stop the buttons becoming click-able but still hover

Question

Hi guys,
I have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).
The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Does that make sense?
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){
tl["mc"+i].ivar=i;
tl["mc"+i].onRollOver=function(){
tl["but"+this.ivar].gotoAndStop(2);
tl["mc"+i].onRollOut=function(){
tl["but"+this.ivar].gotoAndStop(1);
Thanks!

Thanks kglad, i hope we're on the right track!
This is the code im using and there doesn't appear to be a onRelease or onPress handle etc.
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){
tl["mc"+i].ivar=i;
tl["mc"+i].onRollOver=function(){
tl["but"+this.ivar].gotoAndStop(2);
tl["mc"+i].onRollOut=function(){
tl["but"+this.ivar].gotoAndStop(1);
The code my colleague sent me that does work is as follows, do you think it could be HOW the code is written eg there must be a hand full of ways to do this type of thing and maybe i've just gone down the wrong route with the tl["but"+... etc?
for(var x = 1; x < 8; x++)
var currentBut = eval("but"+x);
currentBut.onMouseMove = function(){
if(this._xmouse > 0 && this._xmouse < this._width && this._ymouse > 0 && this._ymouse < this._height){
this.gotoAndStop(2);
else
this.gotoAndStop(1);
I think this shall be my last attempt
It seems to be confusing everyone
