I have just made a simple flash based website and decided/had to add a ‘back’ button to return to the home page where the menu is located.

But it just loads the home page within the old page. Which actionscript would i need to load home page again with out loading the [Digital Llama (LINK HERE)](http://www.digitalllama.tk) again, as it has a popup and would be annoying if it had to popup each time u pressed back…?

i use this for all the buttons, so the ‘back’ just has main.swf as the link name…

on (release) {  
\_root.contents.loadMovie(“linkname.swf”);  
}

any help would be appreciated.  
thanks

First, switch Normal Mode (not Expert).  
On Action getURL you’ll see Window.  
Try with URL for that button and window

\_blank.

This should load in empty page.

Action for Back button you can put

history.go(-1)

O similar.
