The pack I looked at needed an image defined for the mouse over state.
When I moused over, it was showing no image...which meant the mouse was no longer over it, so it showed the mouse away state image, which meant mouse was over...and so on. This caused the flickering.
When making these I like to use the "Copy From" button on the States panel a lot. Set up your mouse away, with image and animation settings. Then add a Mouse Over state, then copy the mouse away state. That way you'll have an image automatically defined (can be changed) and may only need to change the direction of the animation to get your desired effect.
good luck, hope that helps!
