also something i'm looking for to place it into a web menu (flash) and have
users click on a back-track button which records the url's......


Something like that. This is the ultimate goal:

+ The user enters the site
+ The animation plays and stops at the end
+ The user presses a button which goes to an HTML link
+ When they hit back, it needs to go to an identical swf without the
animation (static)
+ When then hit back again, or when they re-access the site, the animation
should start from the beginning. Then the cycle should be repeated.


It was suggested in a previous post that the actions (listed below) would
solve
the problem, and it seems very logical:

+ set a variable before getting the html link (set variable html=1),
+ then in the 1st frame of the whole animation check this variable to see if
it is equal to 1.
+ If it is, jump to the static frame.
+ Then, in this frame reset the variable and go on.


But for some reason it is not working. I am thinking that it has to be
something
very simple, or that the actions or variables are not written correctly.
