Can you please elaborate on that "put away the items on the current frame", not sure
what is that you need.

Assuming there is a button to proceed.
Instead of making it go to frame, you make it play the closing animation
and place the "goto frame" action at the end of the animation so it only
proceed once it reaches the animation's last frame.

I have this little piece of paper that comes down on the stage to display the
dynamic text for that section of the movie. I want that paper to go back up
before the other section of the site is displayed.

This will require some variables. I will make an example for you to help you visualize
the arrangement. The general idea is to make the path of GOTO action dynamic so it can
be change based on user choice.
For a simple example imagine animation from frame 2 to 20. It's the opening sequence.
Frame 21 has stop action and the content, then from 22 to 40 you have the closing part
of the animation. Right after that, frame 41 is blank, with action to goto and play based
on the variables set with a button.

Button action basically play the timeline and define variables in the same time.
The frame 41 assemble gotoAndPlay action to jump to the right place.

Assuming each section is labels p1 p2 p3 and so on.

Button:
_root.pa = 1;
_root.play();

Frame 41
gotoAndPlay ("p" + _root.pa);

Another button:

_root.pa = 2;
_root.play();

etc...
