hi,  
The code that u have recommended is not working properly… What i meant is that the function of the back button is to navigate where the users has last viewed the webpages…  
htm(1)----\>flash-----\>htm(1)

Thx…

you might try something like this:  
on(Release){  
getURL(javascript:history.go(-1));  
}  
i’m assuming you’re doing that on a button. You might have to target that, but that should work.
