Help with Actionscript for Movie clip/scene1

ok, im pretty new to flash so this may be an elementary question. The problem: I have a nav menu i made in flash. all of the nav buttons are movie clips and they are placed in scene 1. i have one nav button that plays a couple frames in scene1. these frames bring in a sub nav which is in the movie (scene 1) and not a movie clip. I want the buttons that arnt connected to this sub nav to play the 2nd frame in scene 1 but only if the current position of scene 1 is frame 38. help please
