Once in Dreamweaver go to Insert-----> Image Object------> Rollover Image, enter each image in the appropriate spot and you are finished.
The problem with the .PNG format is that it doesn't work in IE6 and older browsers. Unless you use thealpha transparency fix for example. Why use PNG? Just use GIF or JPEG. I'd just cut the buttons in Photoshop (use the rulers and guides and then you can cut by using the marquee tool and letting it snap to guides and then go CTRL+Shift+C then Ctrl+N and then CTRL+V) and use a CSS list instead or do it with good old javascript as Purpleoctopussy also mentions.
