I agree with you - load movie is lots nicer than loading new HTML pages. But

since something similar came up for me recently and I need to do a site

where the requirement is to make sure the back button on the browser goes

back to each "page" (rather than restarting from the beginning of the flash)

I was wondering if you know of some way of handling this? Using internal

navigation, I can make it�show up wherever I like, but I'm not sure there's

any way to deal with the brwoser's navigation, other than just disabling it.

Maybe JS though. Seems like there might have been someone on someone's

tutorial pages, and I've just forgotten which one (there's so many anymore

:) You (or anyone else) have any ideas?


Thanks!

Laura
