You can’t just change it. My suggestion would be to place an action on frame 1 of scene 1 which directs the play head to a frame label on frame 1 of scene 2.

ie frame1 scene 2  
label = “startmovie”

frame 1 scene 1  
actionscript  
gotoAndPlay(“startmovie”);

You can “just” change it! Just go to Modify\>Scene and just switch them. The one on the top is the one that plays first. I think this is what you want, but I’m not sure.
