AS1/2 - need help controlling mc from another mc

Question

I'm mostly a point-and-click user of flash. I'm in CS5 and have built a simple flash website (with A/S1-2) having a primary swf (content.swf) and other transparent swf (home.swf, contact.swf, etc.) that load in for each menu button. When another menu button is clicked, my A/S instructs to unload all mc's from level 1 and load in the next swf in that same level.
My challenge. I need to have a button in "home.swf" go to, say, "contact.swf". How can this be done?
Thanks, John

You can probably use whatever you have now though it may require and added argument or so (unless you don't understand what you have now).  The main file as it currently is could load sections based on a function being passed an argument that identifies which section is to be loaded.  So you click a button and that button calls the loading function, passing the name of the file that will be loaded.  The main file's function does the loading work.  Your loaded section(s) can do the same by using a _root reference to call that function (or possibly a _level0 reference).
