    On clicking the Anchors link the object data gets changed ,hoping this is what you want

      <html>
        <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>    
        <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function(){

        $("a").click(function() {

        var thisObjectText=$(this).attr("href");
        if(thisObjectText!=null && thisObjectText!="")
        {
        $('#swf').attr("data",thisObjectText);
        alert($('#swf').attr("data"));
        }


        });

        });



        </script>
        </head>
        <body>

        <div id="test">
        <a href="#first" name="test-1">Aaaa</a>
        <a href="#second" name="test-2">Baaa</a>
        <a href="#third" name="test-3">Caaa</a>
        <a href="#fourth" name="test-4">Daaa</a>
        </div>
