Still need help making a pop-up menu

I have a presentation I’m building with Flash, it’s pretty straightforward, more like a powerpoint presenation… but there’s voiceovers in the flash movie. I have each “page” of the presentation taking place in it’s own scene, there’s 13 scenes total. The navigation is done with a left or right arrow button at the bottom.

What I want though is a “menu” link, where if you click it, a new “window” pops up over the presentation and the links in it will jump you right to whatever scene you pick.

I figured I’d make this menu be a movie clip and just insert it in every scene. My first guess is to make the alpha 0, then use the setProperty command on my menu button to change the alpha to 100. but, if I do this will the menu still always be there? Like, will you be able to click the links even though they’re invisible?

are there any good tutorials or anything out there that might help me get this working?

I’m using Flash MX (not 2004)
