Have a look at Marc Hoffman's sound toggle tutorial:

Make the animation a movie clip, and place it inside the "over" state of the

button.

Looks like you'd better work with scenes than with different movies. Create

a new movie, copy the content of each file into one scene (using "Copy

Frames"). Then, you can use "If Frame is Loaded" to check whether the next

scene has been loaded, and "Start", "Stop" and "Goto" actions to go from one

scene to another.
