I assume you are looking for a button like this:
To look like this when selected:

The template option is just to be sure you are testing correctly, and can use the template for testing.
From Encore, select the menu, “edit in photoshop,” and move the layer you want behind to a lower layer than the text.

Start with a template from the Encore library. Click on the states buttons in the image. Now edit that menu to add your backgrounds. Still work?

How do they behave/misbehave? Do they look correct when you use the state buttons at the bottom of the menu viewer?

That is not the problem then. Those are odd results.

What is the largest number of buttons you have on a menu?

I analyzed the two different installs, and there is nothing of significance in the smaller, more basic library.
The installer that delivers the smaller library, however, also provides some template and styles for Premiere and Encore, including, for Encore, the templates for Encore to Flash. So I recommend doing both.
In any event, once you add a menu to your project, it is completely independent of the library.

Use these instructions to build menus in photoshop. It is a little hard to evaluate since you have no “button” in your first screenshot.

Sometimes buttons placed toward the edges of the screen have issues, even if this is not, strictly speaking, a title safe issue.
You may also see what you are getting when you are using a vector layer that is not positioned correctly for your button position.

Just set the end action of the timeline to itself.
You will need the remote (or eject the disk) to stop play.

With a deadline, I worry about anything I could recommend. But it sounds like you are dead in the water…
You did “revert to original” for the changed sequence, right? It sounds like Encore is trying to process, but then you seem to be saying that it is choking on opening. If you changed assets with the same name, Encore may have gotten too messed up to recover. (Corrupt project.)
Is the source HD (being downrezzed to SD) or SD? If HD to SD, abandon dynamic link (you weren’t happy with the quality), export from Premiere/AME as MPEG2-DVD, and create a new Encore project with a new name. YOu can import “as menu” the menus from the old folders, and perhaps any motion for the menus, but nothing else.
In between step is to delete the Encore caches. You can close Encore and Premiere and clean the media cache, but that is too often not enough. It does not hurt to try.
Any of those options takes time to recreate, but that is the deal.
Look here for project issues:
