Simple question about targeting links.

[Slacker League]

I am setting up a movie to use as a menu on a website. There is one page
that has link targets on it, eg: #past. I have buttons in the movie to
link to the page but haven't been able to figure out the target part. What I
have for the links is

on (release) {
getURL("profile.htm", "mainFrame");
}

The link on the .html file is <a name="past" id="past">Past</a>

How would I get this to link to the id="past", in the above code. The
profile.htm has several on it that I want to link to. Just need the syntax
for one please.

Thanks,

SL

Should be as simple as adding the anchor tag at the end of the url-

geturl("profile.htm#past","mainFrame");


try that...

I may just have to make 3 seperate html files for these links. I can't seem
to get it to work properly. Is is possible that Flash can't handle the #
symbol as a link within an html page?
Any input appreciated.
