Hiya

I have an iFrame on my page and a swf nav bar. On the nav bar is back button to allow the user to click back in the iFrame. I managed to get this working on my mac, but its wont work on windowz. I put the following code on my back button . . . . . .

[AS]  
on (release) {  
getURL(“javascript:myiFrame.history.go(-1)”);  
}  
[/AS]

I have tried a number of different ways such as  
window.myiFrame  
history.back  
frames.myiFrame

any ideas???
