I have a movie that looks to an external source for a list of links:

Example of external xml:  
\<mainBody\>  
1- \<a href=‘webpage.html#1’ target=’\_blank’\>link 1\</a\>\<br /\>  
2- \<a href=‘webpage.html#2’ target=’\_blank’\>link 2 \</a\>\<br /\>  
3- \<a href=‘webpage.html#3’ target=’\_blank’\>link 3 \</a\>\<br /\>  
4- \<a href=‘webpage.html#4’ target=’\_blank’\>link 4 \</a\>\<br /\>  
\</mainBody\>

So when the user clicks on link 3 on the movie, I want it to open webpage.html and scroll down to where I have link 3 info.

I can’t seem to get this to work. Everytime I click on a link in the movie it opens webpage.html and that’s it. It doesn’t scroll down to the anchor tag I have.

Anyone know how to fix this or a better solution?
