(-: It would be a big help if someone could help me with this little problem i have.

Is there a way you can go to the last frame accessed by clicking a button?

So i can do a ‘Back’ Button so it goes to the last frame.

Apply this action to your button:

```php
 on (release) {
   prevFrame();
 }

```

Couldn’t you have a variable declaration in each frame they could have come from, and then do something like…

//this is the button that you click to go somewhere  
on(release){  
backwhere = 15  
//pretend this is frame 15  
}

then on the back button

on(release){  
gotoAndPlay(backwhere)  
}

I dunno if this would work, it’s just an idea…

Yea you can also give the frame a label name like “back” and apply this action to the button:

```php
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("back");
}

```
