I don't think you can 'goto' a layer per se, unless there really is
something new in Flash 5, but you can script a goto a frame, a label, a
scene, or a label in a movie, and many more. I suggest you put your
navigation menu inside a movie. Then place the movie on both scene 1 and
scene 2. That way when you switch between scenes it will look seemless.

Put some script on your button which says,

On (Release)
 Goto Scene 2
End On

I'm not sure if I catch the question but you can use tell target(in
flash4) and similar thing in flash 5(forget the formatas I use mostly 4
now) that you can actually tell them look to any movie
chip(i.e. object) in anylayer you want to go.

eg   tell target /test           a object called test inside the main
movie
then you can use go to   to go to specifice frame or label to do the
things you want.

Hope it helps.
