Flash CS3 Pro. AS 2.0. Mac OS X.

I am making an instruction film containing many different SWF:s that loads one at a time. The new swf unloads the previous swf. But with a “Go back button” you should be able to load the previous swf, but that one can be different depending on which one you came from.

So how do I write a script that means something like this:

If level 2 (film2.swf) was the previous swf , load that one again, else try the next one on the list.
