Actionscrip Linking Question


Actionscrip Linking Question jlyndseyking

macromedia flash sitedesign:
For example, right now my links (in Flash 5) have the following actionscript
(an example):

on(release){
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");
}

I know the "_blank" part opens a separate window. I know that replacing this
with "_self" takes you from the current page to a new one (w/o opening a new
window). The problem with this is when I press the back button on the browser,
I'm taken back to my home page, and not the page with the links. Is there
something I'm missing?

Thanks to anyone with help, tips, or even a website that gives actionscript
"recipes," as I've heard them referred to.

You could tell the flash movie where to start with a variable sent via get in
the url, but there is no way to return to a scene in a flash movie by pressing
the back button (it'll start from the begining).

Cheers,

There should be a way, just a thought though! :)
