XML Doesn't Support HTML Page Jumps???

Hello,

I have a flash movie with buttons that have HTML links attached to them through an XML file.

Everything works just fine except for one thing:

The links all go to one HTML file that has several <a name> references within it. I have used these often before to create page-jumps within a single HTML page, however, when I try to call these page jumps through XML, they don't work. The link sends me to the top of the page instead of the name space I have created.

The XML is pretty straightforward:

Code:

---

<icon image="icon1b.png" tooltip="My Tool Tip" link="my_page.html#my_namespace" />

---

It seems as if once the .html portion of the tag is read, it ignores the namespace.

Does this mean that HTML page jumps are not supported through XML?

replace name="" with id="" and you should be fine

Thanks, but still no go.

Instead of "name", I used "id". Example: <a id="reference1">

Within the XML file, I made sure that the link attribute had the id on the end.
Example: link="myLink.html#reference1"

Is there something wrong with the code I am using or could it be something else?

It would probably work better if you put the id on a different tag. The <a> tag is only really needed when you want to use href to link to something.

Thanks Stephen, but I'm still having problems.

Instead of an <a id="myId">, I used a <div id="myId"> and still no luck.

Here is a link to the project that I am building - Click Here

I want the links on each panel to correspond to the particular area of the html page that talks about that respective project.

Currently when you go to the page there are functioning page jumps and a mini navigation at the top that allows you to go to those areas - I just want it to go there automatically through the XML file that houses the links.
