You probably also need to define some character (a real
one, not a sprite like with .swf) for the button area-
otherwise the area where "hover" is active is not defined
(I don't think Flash is smart enough to be able to determine
 the area of a sprite definition)
Try the following:

.flash name="button.swf" version=6
   .swf logo_idle filename="mov_1.swf"
   .swf logo_hover filename="mov_2.swf"
   .box logo_area width=300 height=200 fill=white

    .button btn_logo
        .show logo_idle as=idle
        .show logo_hover as=hover
        .show logo_area as=area
    .end

    .put btn_logo
.end
