do you know anybody that knows Flash actions script?

- have a question:

Do you know Flash with actions? If not do you know who might be able to help me?  
\*I need a back button with an action script that would being the user back to the previous frame :te:[FONT=“Arial Black”][/FONT] (sorta like the internet.) however, I don’t want it to go to the previous frame within the timeline.  
also, Since I have Lots of scenes I dont want an action script on the main timeline.

" below is a link" it’s a mockup of my program. “movies1…” when you click it will pop up the FLV. (the back button is where I need the help) described above

I have several buttons on different Scenes that links to the same movie (i’m sure There is another way, I tried loading an external swf within a empty movieclip, however the buttons behind the movieclip are still active) (I have about 70 FLV movies (progressive download)

so this was my solution: until i had problems with the back button  
created a scene called “movies”  
on each frame (90 blank keyframes) with a stop action , FLV Move Progressive download, and a back Button on each frame

When the user clicks on a the “back button” I want the program to go back where the user just was, Not the Previous Frame with in the SWF timeline.
