AS3 Help- Reloading a tween movieclip

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm having the toughest time with my portfolio website. It's still pretty rough but getting there.
Here is a link to the swf so you could see the problem and maybe help me fix it.

Once you get to my portfolio menu homepage, click on Print design. Everything there loads fine.
The trouble is going back to the portfolio movieclip and having it display those menu buttons again.
As you can see, if you try to click the view portfolio button at the top, it loads that movieclip to wherever you left off at.
Basically, my question is: How can I have my "view portfolio" button reload/refresh the movieclip (page1) from the beginning in my pagecontainer_mc?
page1 is a movieclip that shows my portfolio buttons.
page2 is a movieclip that show the "about me" section.
pagecontainer_mc is an empty movieclip that loads page1 or page2.
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var p1=new page1;
var p2=new page2;
pagecontainer_mc.addChild(p1);
var pageMoveTween:Tween=new Tween(pagecontainer_mc,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,2,true);
mainmenu_mc.portfolio_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,portCLICK);
mainmenu_mc.aboutme_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,aboutCLICK);
function portCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
     p1.gotoAndStop(0);
     var btn1Outro:Tween=new Tween(pagecontainer_mc, "alpha",Strong.easeOut,1,0,1,true);
     btn1Outro.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, runBtn1Transition);
     function runBtn1Transition(event:TweenEvent):void{
          pagecontainer_mc.removeChildAt(0);
          pagecontainer_mc.addChild(p1);
          var btn1Intro:Tween=new Tween(pagecontainer_mc,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,1,true);
function aboutCLICK(event:MouseEvent):void{
     var btn2Outro:Tween=new Tween(pagecontainer_mc,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,1,0,1,true);
     btn2Outro.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, runBtn2Transition);
     function runBtn2Transition(event:TweenEvent):void{
          pagecontainer_mc.removeChildAt(0);
          pagecontainer_mc.addChild(p2);
          var btn2Intro:Tween=new Tween(pagecontainer_mc,"alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,1,1,true);

I've figured out the problem! (After spending several days looking for the right code and trying different angles.)
I followed the coding off of this tutorial (http://www.demetri-media.com/FlashTalker/ExternalSWFCommunication.html) and took a specific feature (the cyan ball) and applied it to my file. It works perfectly now! Thank you for your help.
Here's how I did it. The back button from within the loaded swf closes pefectly. Now I can move on to putting my portfolio together.
If you have time and would like to help me, how would I/where would I place a loader to this to show how much of the swf file has been loaded/is being loaded? My swfs are pretty big files. I'm still pretty new to AS3.
var myCLip:MovieClip = root as MovieClip;
var container_mc:MovieClip;
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompletedHandler);
function loaderCompletedHandler(evt:Event):void { container_mc = myLoader.content as MovieClip;
container_mc.back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, extCommunicate);
function extCommunicate(evt:MouseEvent):void{
container_mc.back_btn.alpha=.25; removeChild(myLoader);}
var loadPRINT:String = "print.swf";
var urlPRINT:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadPRINT);
printdesign_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swfLoads);
function swfLoads(evt:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.load(urlPRINT);
var loadIDENTITY:String = "identity.swf";
var urlIDENTITY:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadIDENTITY);
identity_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swfLoads);
function swfLoads(evt:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.load(urlIDENTITY);
var loadPACK:String = "packaging.swf";
var urlPACK:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadPACK);
pack_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swfLoads);
function swfLoads(evt:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.load(urlPCK);
var loadWEB:String = "webdesign.swf";
var urlWEB:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadWEB);
web_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swfLoads);
function swfLoads(evt:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.load(urlWEB);
var loadPHOTO:String = "photography.swf";
var urlPHOTO:URLRequest = new URLRequest(loadPHOTO);
photo_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, swfLoads);
function swfLoads(evt:MouseEvent):void {
addChild(myLoader);
myLoader.load(urlPHOTO);
