A flash movie has six differents scenes ;

This movie , letīs call it a.swf , is embeded on a html file which is
a.htm;

Is it possible from another external movie clip , sitemap.swf ,
which is on another html file , to cause to open "a.swf" on the scenes I want ?
Let me explain what I mean , a.swf has scenes 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , 5 and 6 ;
sitemap.swf would have 6 buttons to access those scenes ;

No way that I know of except for having the buttons in one frame, and the movie in another, then have the buttons load a new .html page on the other side.

It was not a good deal to have used scenes , instead of scenes I should have used loadmovie ;
that was a two years and half site that I am updating now ;
remaking sometimes is harder ;

often much harder than starting from scratch.. too true. Of course content is the hardest part of a site, imo. As long as you've got that, you're probebly better off making it from scratch.

Tis true.

If I had all the content I needed, I would start from scratch and incorporate everything into the new version.

Agreed, there's no way I've ever heard of being able to target objects in a completely different Flash movie.

My concept of design was wrong , I should never had worked with scenes but with a base movie and "sub movies" ;
In the way the thing it is site map canīt address scenes , it only gives idea of site content ;
