Paul, Thanks so much for the info. Yes I normally would do what you suggest in other programs I use, but when I tried it in Flash it didn't ever open a new window no matter which choice I made: (Blank, parent, top, self) What is the trick????

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!!!
