Hi all!

I’m using a little flashmovie as a button on a website, and I’m trying to link it to not only a certain page but also a specific place on that page. Right now I’m using the following code:

getURL(“SS-nieuws-flash.htm#opendagen”, “\_self”);

This only gets me to the right page, but not the right place on that page. Can this be done in Flash. I haven’t been able to find any examples of it in the manual or on the web.

Thanks in advance!

Yours,  
Andra
