[SWFObject] Using swfObject with named anchors

Thu May 4 07:30:38 PDT 2006

Sorry Geoff. I'm referring to the feature that was released with Flash  
MX for Flash 6 if I'm not mistaken. When publishing a file you have the  
option to choose which HTML template you want to use to generate the  
code for you. This is the code generated by the HTML template for Named  
Anchors. You will find the file anchors.html in the Flash directory.

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<!--url's used in the movie-->
<!--text used in the movie-->
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ 
swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="770" height="60" id="weather"  
align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="weather.swf" /><param name="quality"  
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed  
src="weather.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="770"  
height="60" name="weather" align="middle" swLiveConnect="true"  
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
<!--bookmarks used in the movie-->
<a name="anchor1"></a>
<a name="anchor2"></a>
</body>
</html>

The anchors used are in the last 4 lines. This allows you to switch  
between keyframes in your movie using the browser buttons.
Any idea how to include this in swfObject?
