Assuming you already know how to make the buttons,if the question is how to get the buttons to link to the other frame, not to the frame the buttons are in, do the following.
In the actions for the buttons click on 'get URL'. In the text boxes below go ahead and type the URL for the site you want it to link to. Then in the text box below that where it says 'window' type in the name of the frame (you will need to name the frames). So now when you publish the flash you can put the flash in a frame and when you click on it the page opens in the other frame.
I have 5.0 and have used 4.0,so if you have flash 3.0 or less it may be different than what I said. I also use Internet Explorer 5.0 so it may be different in a different browser.

If the question was how to make the buttons look in the help menu in flash.
