For a menu, you need buttons, a title, and a decent BG.

Making the Background

When you make your background, make sure it matches the style/theme of your movie. So, you wouldn't want fluffy bunnies in the BG for a sad movie, or killing and death for a game for little girls.

Buttons

Learn to make buttons! Make a square, convert it to a movieclip (F8), and select button. Press ok and you'll have a decent button. For the code, well, it's simple.

For a play button:

on(release){
_root.play();
}

For an extras button:

on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop("extras");
}

Hope that helps. If you're really stuck, I can make a menu for you.

If you are using AS2 watch blan's guide to buttons, helped me a lot.
