Flash Site Navigation Headache!!!!!

I am building my first Flash web site. I have the home page built to my
satisfaction. It's complete with an animated icon, movie and drop down menus. I
got the menus to work using an "On Press" get URL script but that was before my
client wanted to see the drop down menus throughout the site. Since the drop
downs overlay a portion of the body where image and text content will be, I
decided to do the whole thing in Flash.

My first instinct was to use frame labels on every 10th frame and place movie
clips for the various sections on the coresponding frames. But when I try to
use either of the following script options, it doesn't work.

1. placing an "On Press/Release" goto Frame# or Label (I even selected Scene1
from the drop down menu)
2. using a "goto and stop at frame or label" behavior

The drop down menus are individual Movie Clips, so the buttons are nested
inside of them. It seems like the problem may lie here.

PLEASE HELP!!!! I can try to send you the flash file to look at if it would
help.

Thanks in advance.
