you only use the origonal html that was published with the movie that u loaded all the other external swf's into. therefore i don't think the back button will work.

might be worth looking at robert penners site (http://www.robertpenner.com) as i know he has scripted the back button but i'm not sure how it works. i think billy's answer links to there as well

yeah, ive got the robert penners website and his link and the flash files explaining. but im thick. i dont understand how it works...do it embed each .swf file into an html, then apply the javascript? funny i think ive gotten that link at least 4 times. is he the only one that has notice the functional prob?

you could use get url instead of loadmovie - then the back button would work (I think)

Okay, this is what it does :
U have a frameset consisting of whatever u want AND an invisible one. What I do is publish in flash, and load that html file into the mainframe of the frameset.
Next, u use getURL to load the 'identifiers' in the invisible frame which also sends a variable to the main swf. That variable contains info on what's next.
In flash u'll need a continous looping script that checks wether or not u'll need to go to the next 'page' and go to that frame if so.
