flash actionscript: I'm creating my first portfolio site with flash and I'm having some trouble.

I have my first level of my site divided into scenes (contact, about,
portfolio, ect) and my portfolio page has buttons dividing it into 4 different
sections of my portfolio, (print, web, ect.) These buttons load different .swfs
and all of my pieces are on different scenes.

I was just wondering if there is any way to have it so that i can navigate
back and forth from these .swfs directly into different scenes.

yes. but scenes only exist in the authoring environment so to navigate to
frame 3 in scene 4 you'll need to label that frame (say, f3s4) and use that
label in your navigation commands. in addition, to navigate to a particular
frame of a loading movie, you must wait until loading is completed before
issuing a gotoAndPlay("f3s4") command.
