The new Flash 6 (MX) player has the ability to recognise, what Flash calls,
named anchors.

This means that you can now bookmark different parts of a Flash animation,
whereas before you could only bookmark the page that the Flash sat in.

Flash MX also includes the ability to make text within a Flash animation
available to audio browsers and screen readers.

No more bookmarks? Meaning there's some other way to remember parts of a
site? I think the lack of being able to bookmark a page within a site is a
*huge* downside.
