Has anyone managed to use the features to record a history when the user is navigating a Flash site when using swfObject (formely flashObject)? With the \<embed\> method of placing Flash content in an HTML page one was able to use named anchors to do this, and use a special HTML template to recognise the named anchors. This is of course not the case any longer with sfwObject, and I’ve posted a message on that mailing list, but no-one has tried this yet.

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be done?

The site I’d like to implement it on is: [http://www.houtbayonline.com/](http://www.houtbayonline.com/) instead of using the embedded back buttons on the page.
