Linking to an HTML anchor tag

I am trying to link to a specific anchor inside an HTML document from an embedded swf file inside an other HTML page. The page opens just fine when the button is clicked but it does not go to the specified anchor tag. It just goes to the opens the page normally.

This is my script on the button…

on (release) {
getURL(“about.html#ryan”);
}

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
