Hello,
Just wondering how you make anchor links in flash for eg. the URL http://www.exhibit-e.com/ changes to http://www.exhibit-e.com/#/about… when you click on About, without loading the entire page.
I've had a look around the general forums, but not sure if what I am looking for is actually an 'anchor', even though it has a pretty similar function. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I think what you're talking about is deep linking. As zaq said, check out swfaddress. http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/…

As others have said, SWFAddress is the industry standard method for deep linking. There is also JAddress which is pretty much the same thing just for Javascript projects (jquery specifically). Obvious benefits are back button functionality, bookmarking and sending a user to a specific page/state/section.
The simplest tutorial I can recommend is: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play…

Swfaddress can work well.. NOTE IT IS MUCH BETTER to plan to use swfaddress and such BEFORE you do your project, not just to add it on at the last minute....
