I’ve done some searches on Google and have found some useful information, but nothing to restrictive to AS3. Does anyone have any good references for enabling the back button in AS3? Thanks!

I found only this code

```auto

on(press, release){
getURL("javascript:history.go(-1)");
}

```

It isn’t AS3, but might it give you a clue?

cheers…
