hey guys and gals - I havent been able to find a simple answer that works to this problem and it must be a simple one! - the closest i've seen is using an unescape method - im thinking there must be someway of calling some javascript to do it from with flash or sending a variable to some javascript on the page from flash to do it - some kind of workaround like this.. any ideas..?

What it is is I want a link in flash to bring up and html page and have it travel to a named anchor.

the code im currently trying to use is this:

on (release) {
getURL("progress.htm#love");
}

the page is called progress.htm and the anchor is called love - I know all my anchors and pages are named correctly after extensive testing..!

Any help would really be gratefully appreciated 100%!

Thanks very much.. its about time someone came up with a good answer to this problem as it seems to bug a lot of people!

Yeah... We all wish that all the browsers could work in the standard, but that is not going to happen any time soon... :(
