Link to section in flash

[bswwebmarketing]

How do I make a link from an html based site to a specific section/bookmark/movieclip in a flash site?

For example: My flash site has a press section, and I would like to link directly there from another site in html.

Any ideas? Thx

Hi,

If you create your website modularly, meaning each section is an external .swf file, you can simply link t the section of your choice by pointing to the the corresponding file. Linking from an HTML page to an internal frame in a flash movie is not possible that I am aware of.

I was told it could get done through an actionscript link.

Hi,

If you are referring to a link in a flash file that opens an HTML page, this is quite achievable with the getURL method...

getURL("http://somesite.com")


However, an HTML command to send Flash to a keyframe does not work in the same manner.

<a href="http://somesite.com">Link Title</a>

Your other options are FlashVars, which can send variables embedded in an HTML page to a flash movie or possibly a custom javascript function embeded in the HTML page that flash can communicate with to achieve your goal.
