annoyance of the back button

chad_cs · 03-28-2001, 08:39 PM

I am getting some feedback from some friends and they are getting confused with the browser back button. The problem is that the back button exits the movie. Ideally, I do not want to get into JavaScripting to disable the back button (though this is an option). Is there a painless way to get around this problem (barring getting new friends)?

i see you don't want to get into any script with this problem but your pretty much gonna have to.

why not launch your app. in a new window that doesn't have any chrome? no back button and more realestate at the same time.

if your not sure about creating the window, you could use my popUp Window Creator @ http://www.aspalliance.com/bellis under the flash tab.
