back button

[Joasia]

Hallo,
Is there a way to use back button in a flash movie? If there is could someone please tell me how????
I went through the message boards in a search for the answer and it seems that every time there is a back button question nobody replies to it.
Thanks,
Joanna

A back button to where?

Start of movie?
Specific frame or scene?
Html page?

A little more info would help.

back button to the previous scene visited by the user.

I am doing the same thing but my button requires a dbl click, which is what I am trying to fix. The go back works but it needs a dbl click. Here is my problem:
I am adding a java script button. The purpose of the button is to go back. I have the following script and it is needing to be clicked twice before actually going back to the previous page, as opposed to the one click necessary to view the pages under the buttons with no java script. I have tried it with and with out the onclick in the code and nothing has changed. Can you help? Thanks in advance, I am desperate...

This is the code I have tried, both with the onClick and without:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript: onClick(history.go(-1))", "_self");
}

Ok.... tadai, you're using an action to activate a javascript that requires a click.
Try this:

on (release) {
getURL ("javascript: (history.go(-1))", "_self");
}

It's the same thing without the onClick.

Joasia, this should also work for you.

If this does not work, remember that a button calls an action. If you use onClick in your java inside a button, it also requires a click. Hence the dubclick.
Look for a way to activate your script without a click.

Sorry I wasn't much help, but I think I set you guys on the right path.
