Is it possible to have a link in Flash link to a different (named anchor) section of an HTML document? I suspect not but I imagine it may be doable with Javascript. Anyone know anything about this?

HTML version of a jump to a named anchor. Question is can you accomplish the same thing from a link in a swf?
Suppose I have Flash navigation on an HTML website and want one of the Flash buttons to link to an anchor point within the HTML page that the Flash nav is embedded (i.e. and anchor like this: <a name="top" id="top"></a>) For the Flash navigation, I can link to this anchor by adding the following actionScript to the button:

how can i make named anchor links in flash, i tried this: [URL] i dowloaded the sample, it works as it is with as1 but it doesn't seem to work with as2?
View 1 RepliesI tried: ActionScript Code: navigateToURL(new URLRequest("#myAnchor"));
To my surprise this doesn't work. In fact it doesn't even seem to do anything at all.
Is there a way to do this?
the following code works on everything except Chrome:

Flash is being used to create an animated button, and the anchor tag makes it so you can click on that to go to another page. On most browsers, you can click anywhere on the Flash object and the link works...but in Chrome, the link displays in the status bar when you hover over the flash element, but does nothing when you click it. However, there is a small area (about 19px) below the flash element where the link works.
How can I get this to behave the same way in Chrome as it is in other browsers?
I'm trying to use a button in Flash to jump to an anchor at the bottom of my php page. The swf is in a php pagetop include and the anchor is in a php pagebottom include. The code is:

I would like to navigate to an html anchor from a flash menu. I use

It work fine in IE 7, Firefox 2 and 3 but in safari the page reload. How can I prevent safari from reloading the page?
Here we have some great flash websites: [URL]
See how the URL is changing depending on how you are going inside the website sections? This is actually great because you can use the <BACK button of the browser in a flash app.
How can this, URL thing, be done? I hope the technique does not involve creating 8 different SWFs for the 8 sections of a site because that will not be actually a trick... It's defenitely something else looking at that "#" thing.
The website I am designing is a single-page site which scrolls using jquery to anchor points on the page (instead of having separate html pages for each section) The intro section has a flash banner which alternates images of different sections of the site. I have used the following code to get these images to link to the relevant page section
name_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("#anchorname");
};
This however just jumps to the named anchor point - I need to make this scroll to the anchor instead to keep it consistent with the rest of the site.

View 2 RepliesI know when I create a Flash file I can utilize ActionScript to link buttons created in the .swf video file. Can I do the same with HTML 5? I would like to change one of my swf files over to HTML 5 to experiment with the new code. I heard Flash was going to offer this feature in CS5.

I have several AS3 flash movies embedded in html pages, and for whatever reason, when you tab through the page, when you get into the flash movie, you can't tab out. The tab just goes in a loop through the tabindex of the swf.
Is there a way that you can add a button or a little script in the swf, set it to the last in the taborder, and then make it set the focus on the page to a link/div/id/anchor in the html, (outside the swf)
I have a FLVplayer that has multiple films linking to it. There are also categories of films that can change, without disturbing the previous video from playing. This will be on the 'portfolio' page of my website. I then want to have links on the homepage to play certain videos.How can I set up an HTML link to a SWF on a different HTML page, linking to a certain frame (category) and loading the correct video in the FLVplayer?I have read about flashvars but im not sure if they can load bits inside the swf (ie the video).

What i need to do is precisely align a rectangular closed bezier path with a randomly shaped closed bezier path, both with the same number of anchor points.
View 9 RepliesI have a webpage that has two sections, vertically. First the flash swf, then immediately below a comments section. The swf uses all of the screen space, so visitors do not know there is a comments section on the webpage, unless they scroll the page down.In order to call visitor's attention to the comments section, I inserted in the swf a button that would make the webpage scroll down to the comments section, in the same fashion as the HTML code:[code]
View 8 RepliesI have an html form page with a .swf navigation bar. I'd like to be able to click over to a second html page which contains a .swf file, and go directly to a named frame of that swf file.

We are building a flash website with cms at the back end, and we are allowing admin to put anchors inside a content. Later we created a smaller version of the whole content to display just a small part and then [read more] button. Which add a new layer on top of every thing acting like a popup and it is populated with complete content.
Now we would like to scroll that text inside popup to that portion which [read more] button was clicked.
The most common example inside HTMl is go to top link in footer on most of the sites which move the whole document to top.

View 3 RepliesSo the following code allows us to open an HTML link with the click of a button
function callLink(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com/");[code].......
The problem is that this always opens the link in a new window. So what if I want it to open in the same window? Changing the line to:
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:url...); results in a compiler error.I am embedding this swf on a web page of my own, so there are no security concerns regarding giving flash access.
I have solved my remote linking from an external html, to specific swf frame problem. But now, as usual another problem has reared its ugly head. I have a button(s) with a spotlight animation effect in the "over state". It works fine on the "home" page, smooth and clean, but when you link to a frame in the timeline, once in that frame the spotlight effect stills shows up when mouseover, but becomes erratic and very jittery.[URL].. Once there, if you click on about, events, or news, and load any of those pages/frames, you should see the spotlight flicker on mouseover on all buttons

I have a website where my Home, About, Work and Contact pages are on four different frames on the time line. Once you click on the Work link from the opening Home page, your brought to the second frame where a little tween brings a bunch of thumbnails into view. When you click on the thumbnails, it brings you out of the .swf and into a new HTML page. The problem is getting back to the Work page in the .swf with out being brought to the opening Home page. I have used an anchor on the time line and changing my publish settings to HTML with anchors, and they do work! But, its opening my .swf in the Work frame and running through the movie back to the Home. Iv tried putting a stop(); on the Work frame, which does stop it but its a dead page, my tweens, buttons, everything is frozen.
