</div>

is there a way to have a back button that goes back to the frame they just came from?

also it would be the same for the forward or next frame or key frame.

Thanks!  
Aaron

Not sure of your setup, but i’m thinking you might want to check into the prevFrame() and nextFrame() commands.

For a Back button you could use

```auto

on (press) {
	prevFrame();
}

```

and for forward

```auto
on (press) {
	nextFrame();
}

```

Just apply this code to a button and your set to go.
