I have created a menu with MX that basically has buttons that link to html
files.
The files all open in a certain frame called mainFrame.
Here is the problem I'm having and this might be a bug in flash,
I don't know. In the html file there are anchors throughout like,
<a name="past"></a>

The buttons have the following action script.
on (release) {
getURL("profile.htm#past", "mainFrame");
}

In a normal html link the sytax would be
<a href="profile.htm#past" target="mainFrame"></a>
and it would go to that page and to the section that anchor calls for.
But in Flash, this syntax won't work. It loads the page but won't go
to the anchor within that page.

Any suggestions? Or is this just something that Flash won't do?
