Author animated navigation key - suggestions?

i designed an online gallery which the user navigates via a navigation key (a
movieclip) or via directional arrows in the gallery. as the user navigates
through the gallery, i want to highlight the text in the navigation key so that
they know where they are. the navigation key mc sits next to a holder mc, and
when the user clicks on the buttons in the key (or on the directional arrows in
the gallery), external .swfs are loaded into the holder mc.

for a look at the site,

i'm guessing i would highlight the text in different frames of the navigation
key mc, and somehow direct flash to go to that frame depending on the contents
of the holder mc. but my scripting skills are not so hot, and i can't figure
out what the syntax for that would be. can someone help point me in the right
direction?

cheers,
macron
