Re: FW: FLASH: Back button yields weird results

[Jefferis Peterson]

What I've done before is push the last frame of the movie with the menu

to a copy of that one frame in a new movie and new url, and then have the

movie get that new url after it is finished playing. The problem is the

gap of no images between the last frame and the reload of the new.  But

I'm not sure I followed your direction/description in solution 1. One

thing I've tried to avoid as much as possible is load levels for the Mac

IE 4.x crowd's benefit. I don't want them to get stuck in limbo and a

blank screen. The only place they'll fail now is in the music samples

page, which is load levels, but it has instructions there...


And thanks for the compliments, btw!
