    Browser Back button / Named Anchors reprise

    IN the Flash sites that are well put together, you click on the browser back button and this takes you to the last frame that was anchored on the timeline.
    i have placed named anchors on my timeline to facilitate this. i have made sure that my HTML setting in Publish Settings is set to Flash With Named Anchors.

    when i preview the movie using F12 in Flash, it works with my (I.E.) browser.
    when i preview using Dreamweaver, again using F12, it does not work.
    do i have to wait til i launch the site properly before i can see the Back button working ? i dont know !

    i keep asking this question and no-one can help me so far. anyone else had this issue ? i cant move on til i have sorted out this problem.
    thanks.

    thanks. i looked into those files but no light was really shed upon this issue for me. i cant help thinking that the root of the problem lies in the difference between viewing the .swf through Dreamweaver , or through Flash itself.
    confused ...

    Just leave it as it is, and take a walk on the beach with your dog!
    The customer will be happy without it, dont you think?
