Can't be done.  Instead, your HTML could open a tiny Flash movie that loads

the movie you want, and the big movie could begin in an empty, parked frame

and could tell the tiny Flash movie when it's been loaded, and then the

tiny Flash file could tell the big movie to go to a certain labeled frame.

To do this, you use actions embedded in movie clip frames, and tellTarget

the movie clips to advance a frame at a time (to where the actions are).

But tellTarget won't work across scenes, so you'll first need to copy your

scenes into one long timeline and use labels instead of scenes to identify

particular sequences of frames.  This is one of several reasons why scenes

are best avoided except perhaps during an intermediate design stage, not

for the final .fla to be exported to .swf.
