Greetings all,
I am having a problem with the named anchor feature.

I have a movie with two scenes. The first scene opens, you click a button and the scene plays to the end and then loads the second scene. I placed a named anchor in the first frame of scene one so that I could use the browser back button to return to it. However, when I am in the second scene and I hit the back button on the browser it instead takes me back to what ever web site I was at previously, not my first scene.
I have enabled named anchors in the preferences and I publish using the "HTML with Named Anchors" option. I named my frame "main", no caps, no spaces. I checked off named anchor in the property panel. What am I missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Kingman

i may be wrong but...probably not..
you can not use browser back button to goto previous scene of your fla.

where did you get the idea that it will do such???

I thought that that was the whole idea behind named anchors in MX. Maybe I misread the purpose.

I can browse between scenes if they are on different html pages. As long as they are in the same movie on the same html I can not do it without a back button built in to the movie itself.

Thank you for the help in sorting this out.
