Using multiple flv movies and timeline control

Hey, been away from as for a while and now running into various problems.

In short I am trying to have a looping movie clip (already an flv) on the 1st frame with a button that goes to the next frame where the movie only plays once (transition) and goes to frame 3,loads up a menu with a movie clip thats looping and from then a menu that links to other looping movies on
different frames with text etc.

I can get it to work but i think it is the completly wrong way.

Not asking for any full code just some pointers of which actions i need to look into further.

This is for an interactive cd. And i can post the current codes etc.

cheers :pirate3:
