    Will the "BACK" button work on Browsers?

    Yup! You can jump to timeline anchors, not sure if you can code the back-positions on the fly (dynamically)

    Yeah, I dont know if you can do it on the fly but you can also set movie clips to Print. I forgot that little gem. Which adds a ton to the abliity to make it more corporate friendly.

    You cannot in this release manipulate the frame acnhors with code which is a big bummer but it does work on all browsers and just requires a little html/javascript in the host page of the .swf for it to work. This html/javascript is in one of the templates in the publish settings.

    Not good, so I better code my own back button for my actual Flash-Project.

    Anyway, I'm sure I will use this back-button anchors a lot at normal projects.

    I think the anchors is one of the features that made me most happy when I read the reviews about Flash MX...

    But remember that you can still always use the little javascript sentence in order to make your browser obey your wishes:

    <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.back()">

    Don't know if that would work dinamically, though...

    To all XP users, if you are using the rounded cute interface, please tell me if the second of these two buttons looks pixilated

    <input type="button" value="123456789123456789">
    <input type="button" value="1234567891234567891">

    As an XP user, the answer is yes. Which makes it slightly wider...

    yah, the picture is a screenshot, the one you just posted is even more pronounced, like they took a button into photoshop and just resized the width to make it wider.
