This question has probably already been asked but I couldn’t find it in search so I’ll ask again:)
I am not sure if this is even possible but basically what I want to do is stop a flash movie from replaying/loading when someone presses the back button. Say someone is surfing my site and they click on a link, and it takes them off to another page, they do what ever it is they want to do there, then press the back button to go back to my page, but instead of the page just flashing up it goes through all the initial animations for each movie, which I don’t want. If they refresh the page, fair enough, but is it possible with flash to do the same as with an image. Press back and the image pops up instantly?? Is this possible and if so how do I do it?
the other work around is to make your navigation so intuitive that there is no reason for the user to hit the browser’s back button… =) i.e. make your own back button, and make it obvious to everyone…
Hmmmmm wouldn’t that be the same as hitting the back button? Do you mean use the jscript history back thingy? The only thing is, I don’t want to annoy my surfers by taking away their browsers toolbars! I know it annoys me when other people do it:)
