in Flash, import a couple of pics
insert them on different layers
change them to symbols, graphics will do (F8)
Then make sure you place them twice on one layer, but in the 2nd case, change the alpha to 0
insert a tweening...
done.
If you want I'll email you an example file.

I posted it here:

http://www.dutchcats.com/kanweg/kanweg.swf for the swf file

and:

http://www.dutchcats.com/kanweg/kanweg.fla

for the flash file.

This file doesn't look very sophisticated, but it will give you a general idea.
Do press CONTROL + L for the library, because you do need to convert your pics to symbols for this effect.

Good luck!

Control+F8 creates buttons, movie clips and graphics, does that answer your question? (if not, can you be more specific?)

Lets see, select the button. Open up your actions panel if it's not already open. Your going to want something like this:

on (release) {
getURL("yoururlhere");
}
