I have a site that uses the [SoftDIVScroll](http://scripterlative.com/files/softdivscroll.htm) library to move to different DIVs on a page. Normally, SoftDIVScroll listens for a click event on an anchor point, but I need to do something similar from a Flash movie.

So, instead of this:

\<a href="#home" id=“home\_link”\>HOME\</a\>

I need something like this:

getURL(‘document.getElementById(“home\_link”).click();’);

Except that does not work.

Ideas?
