RE: FLASH: getting back from a jump to url

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi Brenda


I think this would be pretty complicated to do with Flash. It would involve

using javascript and/or FScommands to force the movie back to a certain

position based on a variable set when they clicked on the URL. There's a lot

of good quality info on FScommand and js at www.moock.org.

What seems to be the most common and straight forward solution to such a

problem would be to open the URL's in new windows. I think people have

different opininions on this but IMHO it's the best and most reliable way to

enable users to get back to the original page in the same state as when they

left it.

I have some url's that my flash piece must link up to.  No problem but when

the user hits the back button to go back to the flash piece naturally it

starts to play all over.  I know there must be a way to tell it to go back

to where it was but I don't know where to begin to figure out how to do

this.  


If this issue has already been discussed  please forgive and direct me to

where I can find this information.  Thanks so much!!!
