yes you can. When you are making the first button, and you're in symbol 

edit mode, select the up/over graphic and convert it to a symbol of its own 

(F8 key). If all your buttons are very similar, you may at this point want 

to duplicate the button once for each variation. If the only variation is 

text, you may even wish to put the text on the stage alongside the button 

rather than in the button symbol -- that way, you only need one button symbol.
