Beginner needs help

I am new to flash so please excuse the simplisity of this question.

I have a project that I am building and I have a problem. In three different scenes there are 2 animations that I need to "goto" but in a specific order and the gotoandplay command isn't working.

For Example:

Scene1 has 2 animations (Scene1Anime1) is the building animation of the page (Scene1Anime2) is the removal animation of the page. In the middle is a static frame of the full completed page.
Scene2 has 2 animations as well (Scene2Anime1) is the building animation of the page (Scene2Anime2) is the removal animation of the page. In the middle is a static frame of the full completed page.
Scene3 has 2 animations too (Scene3Anime1) is the building animation of the page (Scene3Anime2) is the removal animation of the page. In the middle is a static frame of the full completed page.

Each scene has a button that I want to -when clicked- play the appropriate removal animation (SceneXAnime2) and the "goto" the appropriatly selected building animation (SceneYAnime1)

The only thing I have been able to do is write a "goto" action script that only does one of the animations. I don't know how to write the script to procede to the next animation.

Please help! Again if this is very simplistic my appologies. But we all have to start somewhere. I guess I am a late bloomer

Greetings,

One way would be to use conditional statements and variables to control the flow of point A to B, etc... Since your new to Flash it would probably be much easier if you put each "goto" action one at a time in their corresponding key frames. If you'd like me to try and install the variable method you can email me the fla to admin@thedarkcontent.com or post it here.
