:confused;
Is there any way to navigate to a particular frame on a specified scene in a
different movie to the one you're navigating from.
I have tried: getURL("index.html", "Scene 1", 5)
Is there any other method to do this?

On the button you are using to link to a certain frame, place this in the
actionscript window:

on(release) {
gotoAndPlay(X);
}

the X i have put is correspondant to the frame number you desire, so just
change that to suit your needs. where i have put "release" that is the manner
in which the button works. release means that you have to click on the button
and let go of the mouse click before the button will move to the specified
frame. you can change it though to other things like:

press - this is so that on the initial click the button will move to the
specified frame without the user having to let go of the click

rollOver - this is so that when you hover the mouse on the button it will load
the specified frame witrhout having to click on it.

there are others too, but those are the most obvious.

Hope this helps,
Curtis.
