Flash Back Button

Published May 21st, 2002 in: Flash

Using LocalConnection and a hidden frame with a history.swf, we can get the browser back button working on Flash Web Applications.

Update [June 5. 2006]:
Back in May 2001, Robert Penner was the first to publish a working back button solution for Flash Web Sites, using only a little JavaScript and a hidden historyframe. I still have vivid memories of the many complaints from certain besserwissers on this topic, so it really was a huge thing when Robert solved it.

My localConnection solution, kind of a mod on Roberts solution, was first posted on Were-Here, the main Flash community forum back in the day. However, it didn't receive much hoopla. Oh well :)
