I found this explanation for using the browser BACK button in Flash:

[http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/intermediate/Enabling\_a\_back\_button\_within\_flash/index.shtml](http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/intermediate/Enabling_a_back_button_within_flash/index.shtml)

It is a very good ‘Tute’ but it doesn’t really help me in my situation. I was wondering if it is possible to use the browser back button if all of your .swf’s are loaded externally into a main movie which in my experience is how most Flash sites are put together. So what I am asking is if the browser back button can remember the previous externally loaded movies and load the last one viewed and so on just as it would an HTML page but still keeping in mind the background main\_nav.htm which contains the main.swf never changes.

Thanks,
