Hi CoryMathews Here's a quick tutorial I made hope it helps you out.
1. Open a new Flash Document and make a button and save it as "Page 1"
2. Open another new Flash Document and make what ever you want to come up when the button is pressed i.e. text / pictures and save it as contents. MAKE SURE TO PUBLISH PREVIEW by going to file / Publish Preview (F12).
3. Go back to (page 1) then go to Insert / New Symbol and select Movie Clip and name it place and press ok.
4. Press Scene 1 to go back to (page 1) then go to the library (Ctrl and L) and drag the the movie clip on the stage (place) where you want the text/image to load.
5. Next select the button which you placed on the page in stage 1 and open the actions section (F9) and add this code in it.
6. Next select the little round symbol (place) on the page and in the instance Name change to contents.
7. Publish Movie by pressing F12 and your finished.

A) It is important to publish the page so it makes the swf file.
Q) Press Scene 1 to go back to (page 1)
A) When making a smybol it takes you to a different part by pressing the scene 1 button above the page you will return to the page you was on.
Q) Am i making these 2 seperate htm files or do u mean to just go back to the first movie i made?
A) Yes you need to make 2 different pages in this tutorial.
