I’ve searched the threads, and the answer is nowhere to be found… ☹

All I want is a tip on how to refresh the current html page my SWF is residing in. I’ll be using it in a button…

Sound hard? I think it might be something like getURL(java script:refresh); or somethin’…

try that one:

```auto
javascript:history.go()

```

and in flash:

```php
getURL("javascript:history.go()")

```
