This is a problem:
I want to have a flash movie on my web page, it will have some buttons with animations.
Is there posiblle to jump somewhere in the same web page (anchor) if I press button in flash.
How can I make button like that.
☹ ☹

Same way you would in HTML. Just put the code within a getURL tag.

First create your anchor in the HTML page where you want to jump to.
```php
```
Now use a URL to jump to that area…
```auto
on (release){
getURL("#jumpHere");
}
```
Untested of course, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, a getURL serves just as well as the A tag in HTML.

I think you have to use the full url…
in other words:
> **[Bookmark | AI-Powered Free Website Builder. Create Your Free Website!](https://www.bookmark.com/)**

I think…

That might be it, but Rev, when you do that, there is no slash before the # so it would be

Yes now it works but not in the way I need.
When I klick on the published movie it opens the html page and jumps on the anchor.
But if I open the page in which I have embeded the swf it only reloads the same page and dont jump to anchor, puf pant.

```auto
getURL("java**script:location.href=location.pathname + \"#top\";void(0);");
```
top, or whatever your anchor name is
