Problems With Linking Movies

This is undoubtedly going to have a simple solution...so don't LOL

I have a massive movie which is actually made up of a lot of smaller ones. I use the 'UnLoad Movie' and 'Load Movie' commands to cycle through them.
This is OK when all of my SWFs are kept in the same folder; I just type in its name and it loads OK.
However, my problem is this:

I have four scenes (which are all made up of sub-movies). The scenes are kept in seperate folders e.g.

c:\Movie\Scene1\*All Sub Movies*
c:\Movie\Scene2\*All Sub Movies*
c:\Movie\Scene3\*All Sub Movies*
c:\Movie\Scene4\*All Sub Movies*

I want the last sub movie of scene 1 to link to the first sub movie of scene 2, but when I type in the URL it doesn't work.
I've tried numerous things, e.g. setting the URL to an expression, selecting target and putting in the address, but none seem to work.

Also, when expression isn't ticked, addresses come up as c:\\movies\\scene1\\submovie1.swf, rather than with single slashes.

Any help appreciated (remember, don't laugh)

Rgds.
 
This for local use? Or web?

Local...out of curiosity, how would you do it for both?

If its a massive explanation for both, don't trouble yourself, I only really need the local one.

Thanks...
