Hi, I have a falsh site that I have designed. The flash movie is contained in one html page. Each link clicked on in the movie loads a new movie. There is no timeline, so creating a simple prevFrame() backbutton will not work. Are there any other alternatives to create a working back button, either within the browser, or as a button integrated into the movie?

If you have let’s say 3 swf pages (page\_1, page\_2, page\_3) place your button on all three of them and just ad to your button  
in page\_3  
on(press) {  
unloadMovieNum (“page\_3.swf”, containerName);  
loadMovieNum (“page\_2.swf”, containerName);  
}  
in page\_2  
on(press) {  
unloadMovieNum (“page\_2.swf”, containerName);  
loadMovieNum (“page\_1.swf”, containerName);  
}

this is an easy way to do’it if not try with someone else’s ideea.
