Hey All,

I have set up a Back button in Flash using the following code.

on (release){  
getURL(“javascript:history.back(-1)”, “\_self”);  
}

This works fine, but for some reason it takes a double click in IE on Win XP. Safari on the Mac, the Back button works by just pressing once. Does anyone now of this issue or is it a one off?

I used Flash MX 2004, but exported the flash movie as Flash 6 with AS 1 for compatability reasons. The script is on a Button instance.

Thanks for any help,

mecha
