Back Button in IE not working because of Flash

[defro781]

I have a flash menu on all the pages of my website and it seems the page is constantly loading. When I click back to view the previous page it simply reloads the page I'm on. I have to click back twice and fast to go back a page. Anyone know a fix??

The back btn is it in your flash piece or are you refering to the back btn in your browser?

Back button in browser (only Internet Explorer that is)

The only simple way around that is to load multiple swfs depending on the page your on. Then when you click back it will load the previous swf. If you have everything living in one swf the browser see's your swf like a picture. All that stuff going on in the swf means nothing to the browser. So when you click back it just reloads the swf. like it would load a jpeg. There are some java scripts that solve this problem. I have the tutorial that wil solve your problem, but it is in depth and will require time and concentration. I hope you do it
