FLASH: get URL action

[Campbell, Clyde]

Hi to anyone who can help -


I had the option to make a scrollbar section in Flash with a lot (and I mean

a lot) of text in it, but decided in the end to put this "scrolled" text in

a seperate frame and just do it in straightforward html. I have to make a

series of quick shortcuts to different sections of this text so the user can

get to the info sooner (rather than have to scroll down to search for the

right section) Each of these subsections have a name attached to it, like :



<a name ="section1">Section One</a>


In the frame where you want to make a link to that specific section all you

need to do in html is make a link to the correct html page and specify the

section using a #, like this :


< a href="scrolltext.htm#section1">Go to Section One</a>


This of course works fine in any frameset using straightforward html, but in

order to keep the look and feel of this website, I have decided to make the

links in a swf file, linking to the other frame's html page and the specific

sections therein. (this allows me to have cool roll-over effects, make the

buttons stay down when click on them, etc.)


I have made actions to these buttons that make the button go to an inactive

frame of the button, stop, then get URL for the specific section of the

scrolled text html page, like this :


On (Release)

      Go to and Stop ("section one static")

      Get URL ("scrolltext.htm#section1", window="source")

End On


The links I made like this load the correct html page in the correct window

(frame called "source"), but does not jump the the # name I want it to.

It just loads the page from the top.


If anyone can help me out here I would appreciate it.


Regards


Clyde
