Linking with Flash?

Question

I've been tinkering with a XML Flash webste for some time (flash newbie)  and while I managed to set everything up correctly, I do not know how to make text within a read more page link to the same page used by a contact navigation button.
The code used for buttons (specifically the contact button) is as follows:
onClipEvent (load)
    num = 4;
    this.hitArea = this.area;
    link_num = _root.getMenuSystemOrder(num - 1);
    this.title1.gotoAndStop(num);
    this.title2.gotoAndStop(num);
    this.title3.gotoAndStop(num);
    this.title4.gotoAndStop(num);
on (rollOver)
    if (_root.link != link_num)
        this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
    } // end if
on (releaseOutside, rollOut)
    if (_root.link != link_num)
        this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
    } // end if
on (release)
    if (_root.link != link_num && _root.animation == 1)
        _root.animation = 0;
        _root.link_prev = _root.link;
        if (_root.link_prev < _root.pagesReadMoreFrame)
            _parent["item" + _root.getMenuPreviousLink(_root.link)].gotoAndPlay("s2");
        } // end if
        _root.menu2["item" + _root.getMenuPreviousLink(_root.link)].gotoAndPlay("s2");
        _root.link = link_num;
        _root.play();
    } // end if
As listed in the xml file, this is the contact button menu (with the page containing the text named contacts)
<!-- menu -->
<section name="menu">
<link systemOrder="4">
<![CDATA[
<p align="center">contact</p>
]]></link>
</section>
I was told to use the following code, <a href="asfunction:_root.catchlink,contact,">contact us</a>, but alas, it did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I included portions of my xml and flash code because they were requested of me on other forums. I thought it might have helped; guess not.   Anyway, since I wasn't able to articulate my question properly, here is an example of what I would like to achieve:
http://activeden.net/item/xml-portfolio-template-v4/full_screen_preview/37738
Click on "About".
Within the text box, click on "view our projects".
This hyper link directs you to the same page linked from "Projects" (found on the red menu)
How can I achieve that result? I'm pretty sure I need to use asfunction, but being new to flash, I'm unable to come up with a command.
