Anchors and Flash

[stash]

HOW DO I, target anchors from a flash button..
I have tried the
--getURL("registration_cci.htm#info","main");

not working, any suggestions.
im in the same html page, no frame jumping. I even tried it with the built in Dreamweaver Flash buttons...still no dice HELP

However here is the solution:

on (release) {
	getURL("yourpage.htm"+unescape("%23")+"anchorName", "frameName");
}

Use the anchor name without the # symbol.
Be advised that this only works online! Offline it does nothing. I know it's tricky but online it work without problems.

Hi olias32,
Is there any way to keep it from reloading the whole page when it goes to the anchor like a regular html link?
Thanks.

hello cricket

i just checked what you asked me. this is not how it worked when i posted this reply. i guess they made some changes in the latest flash player. It used to go directly to the anchor, just like a normal html link

let me check it out and i'll have a reply soon

cheers
