Text anchors in external files
Posted by Maretha at 10/21/2003 8:15:30 PM
Hi
I would like to know if it is possible to have text anchors, like in Dreamweaver where you click on a heading in a list and the text scrolls down to that heading, either in Flash or imported through a connection to an external .txt file.
