FLASH: Remembering variables after leaving a swf

[Jurus]

Does a Flash swf remember a variable after you leave it using the GET URL 

which goes a separate HTML link?  


I still can't get an animation to play once, then go to an HTML page (after 

pressing a link), then return back to a static frame using the "back" button. 

 Every time I hit back, it starts the whole animation over again.  Any ideas 

would be greatly appreciated.



I tried to set a variable before getting the HTML link (set variable html=1), 

then in the 1st frame of the whole animation I check this variable to see if 

it is equal to 1.  If it is,  I jump to the static frame.  Then, in this 

frame I reset the variable and go on.  It doesn't seem to recognize the 

variable after I leave the swf.


This is what I did:


ON THE BUTTON THAT LOADS THE HTML LINK:


    On (Release)

          Set Variable: "html" = 1

          Get URL ("http://www.xxx.com/page.html")

    End On




AT FRAME ONE:



    If ("html" = 1)

        Go to and Stop (149)

    Else

    End If




 

ON THE STATIC FRAME (149)



    Stop

    Set Variable: "html" = 0
