Hi,

thanks for your time

I have one HTML page. In its top cell, placed a Flash movie as header. This flash includes 4 buttons.

And below this flash, there are 4 paragraphs, those are completely HTML and marked all with “\<a name=“mylocations”\>”

## I want that when these flash buttons clicked, go to these named anchors

on (release) {  
getURL(“named anchor here”);  
}

* * *

i tried my best, but not yet solved.

is it possible to go to a named anchor("\<a name=“mylocations”\>") from a flash movies, in the same HTML page ?

Please help
