Hi, Im following the browser back button tutorial (found at the [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) site) and I got several problems: First off all I have two swf’s: main.swf and sub.swf ech located in their seperate HTML files. Then I have the index.html wich has two frames (each one for the swf html) **||index.html** -\> Frame name=“top” -\> main.html -\> main.swf -\> Frame name=“bottom” -\> subswf.html -\> sub.swf When ever I press a button on the main.swf, I have a link to the bottom frame (where sub.swf is located) and give some parameters with it (getURL(“subswf.html?sect=home”, “bottom”) With the help of javascript _(The parsed data is then passed to a small Macromedia Flash movie, named “sub.swf”, within the hidden frameset. The data is passed through the FlashVars HTML tag, which is dynamically created by JavaScript.)_ I get the sect parameter, put in the flashvar, read it in the sub.swf and trow it back to the main.swf with the help of the localconnection. Now I got two problems: 1 -first off all the localconnection doesnt work (im doing everything right I think) 2 - second, Its working fine in FF (the url with the bottom target) and I can use the back button to get to the previous states, reading the flashvar etc etc, but nothing happens when in IE here are the files
