Browser back button

[Xty]

Is there a way to monitor when a user clicks on the browsers back button? What I want to do is be able to change a variable within a flash movie when that event occurs.

If the user clicks the back button in the browser, that will take them out of the flash movie, ad back to the page they were at before they went to the movie...it that what you want? Or do you want them to click "back" and go to the previous part of the movie they were just at?

With JavaScript, you can check the browsers history, but I'm not sure if Flash has a History object...look into that if that is what you want...

Hi there - nice frog!
What I have is a flash menu controlling the content in an iframe. I use a variable to keep track of which section the user is in and change the buttons appropriately. The problem is that when the user hits the browsers back button it screws up the navigation sequence in the flash menu. For instance - if they are in section 1, the section 1 button is depressed. If they go to section 2 the section 1 button pops up and the section 2 button becomes depressed. If they use the back button they wind up in section 1 with section 2's button remaining depressed. I don't want to trash the back button - I'd just like to monitor it if possible.
